A man was killed yesterday in Homer Alaska, when he was trying to get a picture of her after she had her calves. Spring is an intense time for the cow. Be careful out there.
Be careful with moose in the spring.

Just had to get that shot. I wonder if he was a local. Tourists you can sort of understand their stupidity. Locals have no such excuse.
How about don't mess with them ANYTIME of the year....
Seems like a resident. At 70 he should have known better.

Just got lucky and picked the wrong moose.

Moose, especially cows with young, are nothing to mess with. When I was stationed at Fort Greely, AK, we saw moose nearly every day. A cow moose can weigh 800 pounds, and will flat out mess up a vehicle! I once had to drive between a cow and her young on a back road, and I was afraid that she would attack my vehicle. Just like you don't pet the fluffy cows (bison) at Yellowstone, you don't mess with mama moose!
Had a good size Bull Moose Peaking into the window of our home!
Told Linda to come and see this. It got a good look then moved on!
Sad part is it left before I got my mits on a camera. ps

^^^That moose was a Democrat looking to see where you hide your guns, he'll be back.
Anchorage...Elmendorf AFB family housing:
Folks learned to stay away and just watch. The moose loved munching on the green grass that was growing in early spring due to the underground steam lines.

My cpusin, an Air Force career man, and his wife were stationed at an AFB in Alaska, and living in married quarters. One night they were awakened by a terrific crash as if a vhicle had crashed into their house.
He got up to investigate, and getting some light saw a bull moose shaking its head, trying to get their clothesline untangled from his antlers.

Family says Homer photographer killed in moose attack knew the risks, died doing what he loved
The family of Dale Chorman, who was fatally attacked by a moose Sunday, said the amateur photographer died doing what he loved.

Personally, I avoid moose whenever!!! As a former wildlife biologist, I can understand!
Apparently his amateur status caught up with him. But being a local resident you'd think he'd know better.

Nice to see Rueben is still OK. Thanks for sharing the video.
I've seen 2 different moose the last 2 days.

Anybody who ever watched Monty Python knows møøse bites can be verri nasti.
So even for city folks there really isn't any excuse.
