#3 Wildlife officials tranquilized the moose, allowing medical crews to get in and stabilize Baldwin. Then with the use of a hoist mechanism, Life Flight helicopter lifted him out and to an ambulance.

Was that the moose, or Mr. Baldwin, who got the chopper ride?

#5 Moose don't like humans because some of us are known to eat them. I mean you can't blame them.

#9 I love to fish up in Grand County, Colorado, on Shadow Mountain Reservoir. I was coming back to my car one evening at dusk after fishing, and walked up within ten feet of a bull moose before I saw him. I stopped, waited to see what he was going to do, then s l o w l y walked around him to my car. That wasn't my first encounter with a moose in that area. Sounds like someone got excited, moved too fast or made too much noise, and paid for it. I sympathize, but that's what happens when you stumble into wildlife's living room, and don't act appropriately. I'm glad the guy's injuries aren't more severe - a moose can EASILY kill a man, either with his antlers or with his hooves. A full-grown bull moose will weigh in at three-quarters of a ton.

#10 I've always had a policy of giving the right of way to any animal that outweighs me by a factor of 10.

#14 when i was photographing in a Swedish part swamp part forest kinda thing, I walked around a bush and found myself standing four meters away from a fully grown moose, who (Hallelujah!) shared my thirst instinct that the best thing to do in these particular situations was to run away with my arms flapping and scream like a girl.

He looked at me in surprise, charged straight at me, for one 10th of a second i actually thought that OH SHI..... would be my last mortal thoughts, he dodged to the left about a meter from me, stormed past me an arms-length away and melted like a shadow in to the Forest.

I"m not easily impressed by big mammal's, I ride horses, I have been doing so for some time now, and I have come to find that i like the bad-guy horses, and was, am at times met with a lot of "attitude" from the boys and girls, among whome a 450+ kg, increadably moody, bigass*d Frissian asskickingmachine from hades called : "Sunny" (thanks to my efforts now prenounced as: "sunni")

I felt safe and secure in the knowledge that no animal of that aproximate size and shape could ever scare me. I was very, very wrong.

I am still pissed of that i did not get a photograph of the monster charging at me, it would have made it the alltime great beer & barbeque story ), this photograph here rather captures the bare essence of the sensation i felt that moment.

#17 Moose are docile until rutting season, when they will attack anyone who comes near them. They are easy to hunt, because they lack the stealth intelligence of deers. I only like the high protein meat in stews or caseroles, where you can hide the funny taste. Pets like it. Ancestral memory, I guess.

#18 And then the Laura Bush moose was flown back to Camp David at taxpayer expense with her two drunken daughters snorting tequila shots in the back of the plane
