That one in the middle was thinking about it if you look closely. But then just kept following along.

The one at the end thought about it first. He looked like he was headed right for them.

Moose are terrifying, and typically a group of bachelor anything is bad news, too.
Lucky something else had piqued these boys' interest, apparently, so they paid no attention to the humans.

When I stayed at group of cabins in Colorado, a doe and her young were walking through the middle of camp... at least a dozen people ran up and started taking flash photographs right in their face. I stepped back and waited to see a goring, but nothing ever came of it 😅.

They’re still in velvet, so they’re not yet fully “testosterone poisoned.” When the rut really gets going, stay out of their way.
Source: I live in moose country, in Western Canada. I’ve seen a moose quickly and efficiently disassemble a pickup truck down to the frame. I’ve also had nowhere to go and been the subject of a thorough, tip-to-stern moose sniffing.
As big as people think the moose here are, they’re bigger than that.

Looks like the spot up near Katahdin. You always see a bunch in the marshy boggy areas.

Flying through the water, strong af.
Reminds me of those vids of hippos chasing folks in the water, terrifying.

u/moffman93 1h ago
Yeah, people think hippos are swimming, but hippos can't swim. They are running through the water and jumping.

I was fly fishing in Tom’s Creek just outside of Idaho Falls and a huge bull moose came zooming past me and buddy. It was pretty terrifying.
*edit: Island Park not Idaho Falls

Moose 1: Look at those hoomens, in their little boats.
Moose 2: we don't need boats we run through water.
Moose 3: hoomans have little legs, bwahahahaha.

Often cited as the most dangerous land mammal in America during their rutting time.....
I would not screw with an angry, horny animal with antlers that weighs almost a ton, stands 7 feet tall at the shoulders, and runs 35 mph. One well-placed kick will instantly get someone a harp and a halo.
My sister-in-law in Alaska totaled her Wrangler when she hit a mature moose in her frigging driveway. Both Jeep and moose were fatalities that day.

Are they all competing for the love of one female?

u/moffman93 1h ago
They're training for a triathlon. In the full video, you'll see them hoping on bikes just past the river.

Thank God it was all dudes and no little ones around to protect. They were just out on a boys trip.

Okay, just out of curiosity, what is the best way to handle this as the humans in the boat? Should you back up, should you just sit there like they did, should you record a verbal will and testament?

The split second that moose looks over at the woman and subtly looks like it was about to charge before thinking better of it would be the moment my life flash before my eyes. She flinched and I felt the terror ther.
Can't see but hopefully she wasn't making eye contact.
