1. I saw one drinking along the shoreline in Lac Dumoine, Quebec. Big fella!

I was under 30 at the time!!

2. Many, and up close

when I worked on dude ranches in the Big Horn Mtns and the Grand Tetons of Wyoming as a teenager.

Despite their hugeness, they can leap over fences and other obstacles quite gracefully.

Moose aren't timid and can be aggressive. I should know. I was treed a few times and chased onto a rock once. I always had to stay put till I was rescued by rangers. (All I was doing to get "rocked" was trying out my moose mating call imitation while scooping up pails of water from a stream and pouring them back in, attempting to sound like one of them urinating. Geeze, mooses have no sense of humor at all.)

3. Oops, I'm not under 30.

I'm 67. But I can still do a helluva pissing moose mating call.
