Yellow- you've got a lot more nerve than I do! Wonder what the moose and the bull were looking at? With helmets on we don't look very human to them, I'm sure! Can't imagine they see many bikes either.

Good idea to give the moose a lot of room. They can strike with their front hooves if they feel threatened. They can move VERY fast.
The bull, too. Geez, I'd just make sure I wasn't surprising either one of them, and then try to sneak past if there was room, or wait it out if not.
I have a friend who tells a story of a guy being treed by a moose on an island and having to wait most of a day for someone else to come along to distract it so he could get back to his boat. At least they can't climb.***********

Be extra careful of bull moose in the fall when they are are in rutt.
Oil is good, grease is better.

I want to ride with you and see moose! I love moose. Heck I even miss the antelope. The most exotic thing I see now is a squirrel.

Believe it or not, the exotic I've seen lately was a BUNNY RABBIT!!!!! Originally Posted by Bikingmomof3

I can't believe that it's been ten years since I've seen a bunny rabbit. Last year, we saw jack rabbits while we were out exploring one day, but they're not bunnies, so they didn't count!

Karen,
We have had more bunnies around here then in the previous 3 years. I will gladly send some your way.
