Thats right! moose kill a looooot of people every year in the "deep north."

id like to see anyone in that position, after already being stomped once, try to do something different and expect to live.

Failing to retreat = provocation?

Go count something math boy

I just thought it was a video worth sharing.... Didn't think it would start a sh*t storm like this..

I'll agree on this, he could have sat there and enjoyed looking at it and when it moved out the way went around it. No need to pull up closer and when it doesn't move pull up again provoking it again.

Contrary to what MathGeek believes, "stand your ground" did not fit this situation UNTIL the moose got aggressive, then he turned and walked away, and the guy continued to provoke him by moving down the path.

None of that was smart. He could have moved around him or tracked back and found another route around.

Im pretty sure adrenaline had a lot to do with what happened in this video. I do not agree with what happened that's for sure. I wasn't in the situation so I cannot say what I would have done. Id like to think that I would have backed up and waited for him to move/leave or maybe found an alternate route. The guy wasn't on foot he had the ability to move very easily.

Yeah, maybe you've got a point. I can see that. Idk, who knows what they would have done here. I just know if that's a full grown moose or a bear, I'm not going to keep moving down that trail, I'm going to back out or wait and see what it does. I'm sure that animal felt threatened by him, and that is why it charged. Either way, it is what it is. To each his own.

And if this would have happened to me I would have for sure destroyed all evidence including the damn video... really how stupid can you be?

Wonder how long he sat there before he turned on the camera. I'm sure he didn't just round the corner and give the moose 2 seconds or else. Get off the trail and get stuck in bear country with a goofy, adolescent moose hanging around?? Doubt it. And was that his lady following him?

How many of you hunt over a pile of corn from a big box in the sky, but are saying this guy was wrong?

That moose was young, dumb and clumsy. He wouldn't have made it very long anyway, playing on a trekked path and charging gas powered bears that are standing over 7'... I wish he would have played out the cow scene from Me, Myself and Irene

Everyone is missing the real point here. This dude dinked a freaking moose with a Glock. Shouldnt we all be concerned with finding out what caliber he was shooting.lol

damn right!

ida just hopped off the snowmobile and barebacked that hoss in a rear naked choke till he dropped.

[flounder_smacker]

Yall are arguing over one dead moose. How many get killed by hunters or cars every year? Only thing I think he did wrong was not stopping to put one in its head to make sure it died quick.

[speck cc]

we don't know the details... so why speculate! i would have shot his *** too!

[barbarian]

I watched it a second time to be sure. At the 52 second mark that moose started charging again. It then met its fate about 1 second later. I am pretty sure I would've done the same thing and I think the shooter's immediate response to flee for a couple hundred yards proved his fear of the situation. It appears he tried to fire a scare shot about 2 seconds before and it made it worse or didn't help at the very least. I definitely don't have a clue in the snow, but that trail at that spot didn't look like anything was an option but forward It already charged once and IMO came way too close and appeared dangerous. Those hooves will mess you up quick. He might have been young, but plenty big enough to do major damage. unfortunate - yes, but justified IMO. If he wouldn't have shot it and that second attack proved deadly, we would have all called him an idiot to let that happen with a pistol on his side.

Did y'all not see the moose almost stop his a** BEFORE he drew his gun? I don't get it. Put yourself in his shoes He was trail riding and came across a wild animal. 9/10 that animal goes the other way when you ride up on em. . He showed plenty of restraint by allowing that moose to get as close as it did. Bad situation. could he have done something different? Sure, but I guarantee he didn't want that moose stomping his snowmobile.
