[Vision2020] moose

[Tom Ivie]

How about moose?  I have had two encounters.  One, I was stalking a herd of elk to photograph back by Red River (the same summer as the OJ thing).  Unbeknownst (sp?) to me, there was a moose with a calf that I didn't see in the woods (I was stalking on the edge of a HUGE meadow.  It isn't easy to run with a really long lense on an SLR camera.  No pictures that day!  The second one was behind Elk River and I was hiking with my wife (before kids).  I picked out a tree real quick.   He came toward us and acted like he was going to charge but didn't (thank God!).  We waited a l o n g time for him to meander off before we did anything.  

My question is, did I/we do the right things?
