People and Moose Most people seem to like moose because they're so different. They don't spook or shy away from us as readily as deer, appearing more docile or even curious. But something to remember about moose is that anything that big can be potentially dangerous. Actually moose, like any wild animal, can feel threatened by and fearful of people. A charging moose often kicks forward with its front feet, knocking down the threat, then stomping and kicking with all four feet.
Antlered bulls can use their racks just as lethally.
Most importantly, give any moose in any environment lots of space. This is especially important during the winter for snowmobilers and skiers because moose travel on broken trails to save energy. Be especially alert around cow moose in late May and throughout June since there is a good chance a newborn calf is around. While enjoying the outdoors in the fall, be alert for bull moose in the breeding season. Cow moose can be aggressive at this time, too.
