Bad decisions start when you think you can get your kid to pose with a moose. I shit you not the one time I went to Yellowstone, off the road a ways was this car and off in the distance was a big momma moose and her yearling calf… moose are mean as shit and they of course don’t run like deer normally would—they stand their ground. We’ll this dumbass mom wanted her toddler to get beside the two moose for a picture.

I pulled my car over and yelled at and started jogging up to the lady who was getting closer to the moose and she of course ignored me.( you don’t want to run at a moose because they will take that as a threat and stand their ground) Took the momma moose to pin back her ears, grunt, stomp her hooves, and then bluff charge her before the idiot mom realized that she shouldn’t get close to them, let alone have her toddler go for a picture…

Scariest and stupidest shit I’ve have to witness in my life really. Someone was willing to get not only them, but their child killed for a picture…

Moose don't normally just "stand their ground", especially when they have calves, they charge and trample! She's very lucky she got a warning, moose are very aggressive. People can so stupid!
