1. Moose: “Give us a push here, will ya luv?”

2. Very much back in the day, worked with the Geological Survey up north one summer, and our crew had a helicopter. The locals would ask the supervisors to pass on any moose sightings so they could start organizing food for winter.
   At that time, there were a lot of seismic surveys up north, resulting in a lot of “cut lines” where trees had been felled to run the surveys. It was soon noticed that the moose were using said cut lines as mini-highways.

3. A lot of folks would not understand how a hunter (not presuming that of Eric but illustrating a point) would go out of their way to help a vulnerable animal that they might be trying to kill some other time.

   1. Farmerboy – a lot of us would Hunters can be the best protectors of wildlife.

4. …except the moose was trying to get to the other side!

   1. Minor detail, PCB. She obviously realized her mistake.

   2. Why did the moose cross the road? To get stuck in the ice only to be helped by a good Samaritan named Eric…Kudos to Eric for a beautiful video

5. Totally Heartwarming!

6. Back in the 90’s (ooohhhh, that’s a truly old man openings!), I came across the herd of elk in Jasper on route to a hiking trip. Stopped by the side of the road – as per costume – and let the herd do its thing. Until a bull decided that my car was a menace, and challenged it! Wrecked the front “grill”. Magnificent beasts, though!!

   1. OK. I really don’t know the etiquette of the situation, Cranberry Farmer, but does honking your horn at the bull elk intimidate him and move them all along or does it just p!$$ him off? If you are supposed to honk, is it pinkie out or do you take a firm grip on the wheel and maybe flash your brights at the herd, too?

      Just asking ’cause I wouldn’t want the herd pointing and laughing, “Tourists! What a rube!”

      1. We never honked the horn… I think the bull had a thing against Chevies, though…

      2. H.R. – this was (and probably still is) an issue up north where the road to Fort Smith runs through Wood Buffalo Park and the great beasts would be on the road. Heard of one which took on a tractor-trailer unit and both lost. The advice on how to deal was varied – honk, don’t honk, flash headlights, don’t flash headlights. What we did know was that an ordinary vehicle would NOT be the winner.
