Don’t Spook the Moose
I have seen Moose around Muskoka and of course there are more frequent sightings as you travel north or go deeper into the woods. I almost hit two of them that were running down a dark road one night. These large beasts can stand close to 7 feet tall and weigh up to 1500 lbs. They are normally not very aggressive but if you cross paths or annoy them they can be nasty. Don’t Spook the Moose.
As an avid snowmobiler in the muskoka region I have run up on 2 moose one morning on the trail. We would never get that close to them like that guy did.
They are scared and get tired when running like that. They would get aggressive like that when they feel there is no other option. IMO
