**When he first spotted the moose on the trail, he could have waited for it to move on. Instead, he approached.**
I agree. Approaching just stirred the beast up up. It was just minding it’s own business, living and surviving. The snowmobilers are out entertaining themselves. If it started to approach and kept coming, just step behind a tree, weapon drawn just in case.

Monday morning quarterbacking. We get exactly the opposite advice for most animal situations. Make noise so that they know you are there. If the snowmobiler would have stopped and made not more noise, and the moose attacked, then people would be saying, “Why didn’t he make some noise?”
