Can't buy that TOR. I have seen plenty of moose at this same time of year, and non looked like that. That thing was not looking good. Not taking any sides here just not everyone knows all the facts behind the whole encounter. There was video I saw in late February that was almost the same exact scenario as above that played out with a snowmobiler only the second time charge the moose made a charge the guy shot it. I imagine he got in some hot water but probably was fearing for his life. I think it was on You Tube. Check out the atrticle below on a current moose study being done studying the effects of ticks.
