Moose are the largest members of the deer family. The males of the species are called bulls & they’re easy to identify because of their giant antlers which can spread six feet from end to end. The antlers are deciduous, meaning they undergo a process of falling off & growing back each year. A bull will typically shed its antlers each winter, after mating season, which lasts from September to October. A pair of moose antlers can weigh up to 40 pounds. 4 Rodney Buffet Rodney Buffet got more than he bargained for while pursuing a moose bull in the woods of Newfoundland’s southern coast. The moose went down & raised all four of its legs in the air. Unfortunately for the 38-year-old hunter, the moose still had some life in it. Where is it located?

The report states that the woman had been walking with her dogs in the woods. As time passed & she didn’t return, her husband went looking for her & found her by a lake. Even though the evidence added up, the explanation seemed unlikely. Ultimately, DNA tests from the hairs found on the body revealed that a moose had been responsible. As a driver, respecting all the rules of the road, including wearing your seatbelt, staying sober & alert & driving at slower speeds during nighttime while using your high beams whenever possible, increases your chances of avoiding collision with a moose. It’s also worth mentioning that they are most active at sunrise & sunset. Unlike other animal encounters, this is
