they hurt more ppl than bears.
they def do their share of injuring ppl.
occasionally killing. but thats mostly cus they are oblivious to ppl 90% of the time. like in that pic you could get close enough to swat him in the butt. but in spring after they drop their little ones its quite different. of coarse you have heard not to get in between a mother and its young but its not always jus that easy.
once i came out my front door where moma and her two babies were together off in the woods about 40 yards. far enough to get in my truck which was about 10 feet.
when i got to my truck and opened the door i stopped to take in some of the antics. the babies were playin and jumpin doin little bronco kicks having a good time and then one comes running out of the woods... straight at me and then around behind me. so i look at mom, she looks at me and before i can simply turn and get into my truck shes barreling down on me. it was jus like a cartoon with my legs spining in the dirt. lol
other times of the year you can feed that same moose carrots by hand.
