Keep your distance: Moose are generally not aggressive but can become dangerous if they feel threatened. Maintain a safe distance of at least 50 feet (15 meters) or more
2. Observe Body Language
Ears back, hair raised: If a moose has its ears pinned back, or the hairon its neck is standing up, it’s a sign that it feels threatened and might charge.
3. Back Away Slowly
Do not run:Running might provoke a moose to charge, as they can see this as a threat or challenge.
4. Seek Cover
Climb a tree: If the moose charges and you have time, climbing a tree may be your best option.
5. Let the Moose Leave
Give it space: Often, if you give a moose enough space, it will move away on its own. Be patient and allow the moose to leave the area before you continue on your way.
6. If a Moose Charges
Run in a zigzag pattern: If you can't find cover and a moose charges, try to run in a zigzag pattern to make it harder for the moose to follow.
Key Points to Remember
Moose are usually not aggressive unless provoked or threatened.Always give moose plenty of space and avoid close encounters.
