Moose: Those Scary Bastards

So, I have always enjoyed looking at moose. They are so odd looking and huge that they catch your attention. Tourists constantly ask where the best place is that they can see a moose. Many even pay money for moose tours where they ride in a couch bus in search of moose (no guarantee though). I admit, if I happen to have my camera and see a moose, I pull over to take some pictures. I had heard moose would charge when they were mad but didn't believe it until a watched an hour long show on it that scared me so bad I'm afraid to go outside. Moose are moving into our communities, or rather we're moving into theirs. I saw moose charging everyone, they were confused and felt trapped. They had videos of moose destroying cars and fences. There was even one who ran alongside a car and when the car stopped, it ran ahead, turned and faced the car, and got ready to charge. Needless to say, when I see a tourist walking closer and closer to a moose for that Kodak moment, I can't help but think of that show.
