Q1065 FM - So what do you do if you meet a moose on a trail? First, don’t panic. Second, don’t challenge it to a staring contest. You will lose. Emotionally and physically. Here’s your survival cheat sheet:
- Keep your distance. If you can see it, great. If it can see you, less great. Slowly back away like you're trying to casually escape a bad Tinder date—no sudden moves.
- Don’t run. Moose are surprisingly fast for animals that look like awkward horses on stilts.They can hit 35 mph! You, on your best day, downhill, with a tailwind? Maybe 9. Running makes you look like prey.
- Stay quiet. No yelling, whistling, or blasting tunes through your Bluetooth speaker.
- If it charges? Hide behind a tree.
