Life in nature is not a Disney cartoon.

Wild animals are wild and deserve respect and need to be left alone.

Of course, that’s true. And I respect wildlife.

But sometimes people just want to have fun. And there’s nothing like a moose, sister, and possibly cheese thread to get people going. ;)

“I didn’t know moose were in Utah.”

Mormon converts?

Is that moose on the trail in Jefferson, NH up above Lowe’s?

I’ve seen moose on the U of U campus in Salt Lake. We have them at Snowbird and Alta, and lots of em in the Uintahs.

Moose are probably most common in northern Utah, and the area around Park City is and always has been, particularly wild. It’s an excellent hunting area, for those so inclined.

One doesn’t want to be on the trails alone unless one is prepared and is an experienced hiker. Sounds to me like she might have been a “greenhorn.”

They’re quite plentiful up around Bear Lake and the Randolph Sink, in the Uintahs.

I imagine the people were not expecting a charging moose.
