There is a lovely children's book about a moose that falls in love with a cow. It is based on a real life situation. Seems this could be similar - if he is still with the cows in the Spring. We and he should always be watchful of the bull however....

moosebugers?

When I was in Alaska, the people there told me they eat moose and caribou. Sort of like cow and deer. Apparently quite tasty.

The neighbors called about a week later and asked Wendall to please come and get his Moose. So he headed out with a honey bun, bucket of grain and the horse trailer and brought him back home.

Great book...

Don't worry so much about the bears.
When I was working on the Alaskan pipe line the ubiquitous wiggling leafy bushes that cover everything in lower AK was called "Pucker Brush" by the locals.

I asked why?

I was told, "Because you can barely crawl through that stuff but a moose after you - can run 25MPH through it ."

There's nothing wrong with Moose Love.

The Taming of the Moose

Some time in Russian history there was a group of maurading bandits who had domesticated moose. They would saddle these moose a ride over the snow covered areas and raid other villages and escape unscathed.The moose they were riding were able to go through the deep snow so swiftly, there was no way any one could pursue.Ultimately this led to a law forbidding the domesticating of moose in Russia.

Also,moose turds are about the same size and shape as those foil covered milk chocolate Easter eggs.

Welcome to the Cellar, banjobob.
Interesting story, probably has considerable mileage on it.

But I don't believe it. Moose don't move that fast in heavy snow and certainly couldn't outrun a man on cross country skis. The man better be armed when he catches up though.

Unless the moose is running in deep snow next to a groomed trail I've got to disagree with you xoB.

My guess is they plod everywhere unless they have a reason to hurry.
