Amazing video!! Everytime I watch this I just want to jump in my car-forget everything and get back to nature "up north". I've been twice to the boundary waters and have yet to see a moose-I would have been stoked for weeks after an encounter like this. Goes to show how we are on the level with the rest of nature, not above it. Thanks for sharing!!!
This is the most amazing moose video I've ever seen lol. Favorite-ing this. I have inside joke with my boyfriend I call him a moose so this is great. Can't believe how close u were to the moose!! Awesome.
Wow! I have yet to come that close to a moose up north, or bear either. I was on the trails last fall at sunset(which we have the most amazing sunsets here in MN!) and I saw about 15 deer ahead of me, it was so quiet and so "natural"-sounds corny but I felt one with them for a minute or two.
I saw a moose in the BW back in ohhh 1990. I was 5 canoeing with my dad. We where in a small almost creek like area and the moose was walking through. He took a massive pee in the creek and kept on his way. My dad only got him walking away because he had to search for his camera but I will never forget it!
I'm leaving for the bwca in a week. This will be my 5th trip. If you feel comfartable with the animal what's the deal we have had encounters like this a few times. You just don't want to be perceived as a threat. Great video. Remember this is a spirtual journey for some people you two seem to be doing just fine.
I have to admit that when I got this issue of the BWJ and saw the picture on the cover, I was a bit befuddled. It seemed to almost promote getting this close to one of these animals as being "okay" which is a very dangerous thing to do. Without judging you or labelling you as simply ignorant of the dangers I have to ask: How was it that you ended up being this close to this Bull? Did you somehow get stuck between it and the shore? Or was it done intentionally?
These folks are very lucky the moose was hungry, otherwise it may have charged their canoe and overturned it; they do it to cars-ram them and turn them over. Many people are killed every year from moose incidents, mostly in cars; I think they are best admired from a distance where you can see its environment too and not scare anybody. I've run into Moose in the BWCA and I just kept on walking; I will run a bear outta my camp, without a gun, however.
