Moose Charges 2 Hikers in Indian Peaks Wilderness

News Link
The moose was protecting her calf. Fortunately the hikers were educated on what to do in this situation and no harm was done. I had an encounter like this one in Minnesota many years ago. Having an angry mother moose staring down at me ( the top of my head was even with the middle of her chest ) was an adrenalin-producing event! Fortunatley for me, I instinctively knew not to turm my back and very slowly moved backwards away from the moose without provoking a charge.
