its wester europe, your right he should have set down and negotiated with him

At his age, he should already know that nothing says “Shoo!” like a .30-’06.

Shooing a 900 lb critter is not a good plan.

Keep an SUV between yourself and the creature while issuing instructions.

Strange, I had an Akita and he looked identical to that picture of the Elk Hound. Colors, tail and all.

The moose (North America) or elk (Europe), Alces alces, It was just looking looking for something to bite, and his sister wasn't home.
Too bad he didn't have some cheese.

Typically Elk (which in Norway and Europe means what we call "MOOSE") Deer, cattle and other heard animals will move if shooed, even if they weigh 1,000 lbs or more. Moose however are known to be stubborn....
An "Elk" in Norway:
Even 1500 lb. cattle bulls will move when shooed by a human--assuming there are cows around so they are happy.
