Note
It was pretty cool seeing the big bull moose off in the distance the other day; it was less cool today when while I was running with idle thoughts down a cow path after doing some mapping, a bull moose got to his feet about 35' away from me. With nothing in between him and me. Of course I stopped running immediately. He looked at me, and I looked at him. I tried to convey the idea that I was *not* a dog or anything doglike. Most moose attacks in Wyoming are provoked by the presence of dogs, which moose see as wolves, or at least too wolf-like (wolves being the mortal enemies of moose.)
So I started easing around the moose, taking my time, and when I had got to the point where I was past the moose, I resumed running, glancing back several times just to be sure of the situation.
Then it was pretty cool again--ha!
