Moose are most dangerous during rutting season-they travel places they dont normally go, to mate. And, they lose their shyness. This is when car strikes happen-during the fall. Thats why they are so dangerous.
Two quick moose stories. First one, I was hiking part of the AT in MA about a dozen years ago, and a section hiker was telling me a story about how she was treed by a moose. She had seen it near the trail (this was in VT), and tried to sneak up on it to get a better pic. The moose, for whatever reason, didnt like that, and chased her. She managed to get high up a tree, and the moose, acording to her, didnt leave for quite some time. She did manage to get a few pics of the moose while being treed (this was when we still had FILM cameras) and showed me the two she kept with her. I guess moose dont like sneaky people.
Second story, just recently I went to my pipe majors house (I am a bagpiper), and he was all excited to show me something in his driveway. Well, lo & behold, the was a HUGE pile of moose droppings. Apparently a cow had been wandering the streets (its a mix of rural & urban terrain) near where he lived, even made the local news. Well, she decided to do her business on his driveway. Now, I dont know how the size of a scat pile relates to the size of the animal, but the pile was HUGE!!!
