Man comes face to face with a bull moose — and then he makes a mistake (video)

Never had the bad luck to have to test it, but I was taught: never run, back up, put a tree (or several) between you and the moose. ETA: and keep moving away until there’s a kilometer or so between you and the moose.

I was scanning the background looking for a single thick tree to park behind, and it was pretty thin stuff. Enough to slow the big boi down a bit, but did you notice how smoothly and quietly he slid that rack around the trees? My heart nearly stopped when he advanced to the point where there were no more trees between the two of them. Hoo boy.

And yes, fer Chrissakes, put the f*cking phone away. That gadget appears to be trying to kill its owner here.
