I came home and found a moose munchin' away on the shrubs. I pulled the car up and started honking my horn trying to scare it off, only to push in more into the yard and go for the even fuller bushes....not really what I was going for.
So when I got into the house I went to the front door where the moose had moved to and tried to scare it off. I grabs some sticks off the ground and started tossing them at the beast... he completely ignored me by the way. But finally I got his attention and he turned....and turned FAST!. I jumped and got behind the door and shut it. I get on my tip toes and look out the window of the door and the moose has followed me and well.....tried to get in!

Sorry if the video does not work, I believe there is something wrong with blogspot.com becuase I have not been able to view it yet. Click on the link to view it on youtube. That is the only way I have gotten it to work :) Sorry
But the best part is....is that I just kept having this vision of this crazy moose busting down my front door chasing me through the house :) As soon as he started sucking on the door knob I ead bolted the door!.....like that is going to do anything :)
Okay, that was too wild. Glad you took cover. I hear they can be a little violent when provoked! I can't imagine living with moose in my yard. We get dear, but here in little Ohio we don't get moose!
ReplyDeleteAnd here I think it is really cool that we had a deer family living in our yard for a while! I would love to see a moose!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing....

ReplyDeleteWhoa!!!!!! When it turned around so quickly do you think it wanted to charge you? That is unbelievable!!!!! Yowza!

ReplyDeleteWow! Thas different, the biggest animal that comes near my house is a squirrel!!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! a moose! holy crap! you are a brave woman! I have a bear problem here at my house, hes big and he knocks on the front door. Oh and has lovely parties with my trash cans and leaves me to clean up the mess! Good luck with your mom's moose! Glad he didnt get in! that was a great video!

ReplyDeletelove the moose video. our kids had to be kept in the schools after they should've been coming home last week, because a moose was loose on the town, and they were afraid to let the busses go.

ReplyDeleteYay for you grabbing the camera to document it :-)
Sorry we disagree on the Will Ferrell thing but thanks for weighing in!
Oh and no I haven't see Stranger than Fiction but after the last two, I am a little gunshy :-)
ReplyDeleteThe things we put up with to live in Alaska! I am surprised you had enough frame of mind to get the video camera out.
ReplyDeleteOh my Gosh...I wold be so scared. I can't even imagine on of those things in my house! Here in Michigan our biggest worry is destroying our car by hitting a deer.

That is insane! We have deer that prowl our back yard. I could never imagine a MOOSE!
ReplyDeletethat was hilarious! We lived in Fairbanks for three years.
ReplyDeleteI just added a bunch of pictues from Homer on my Flickr. We loved our time there and would love to go back.
Thanks for visiting my Manic Monday post.
Our neighbor threw a tricycle at a moose to scare it off. The moose like the trike and took off wearing it on his antlers....
ReplyDeleteGreat video
OMG that is hilarious. It is really is striking what a HUGE animal a moose is...
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny. We had a moose in our front yard last summer...something that NEVER happens here in my town. They are alot bigger in real life than they are on tv!
ReplyDeleteYea they really are huge...and this is just a teenager moose.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful moose!
ReplyDeleteStupid me...I would have probably gone outside and tried to pet it.
No Way! That is hilarious. Kind of scary! Super funny that you took a video.
ReplyDeleteOh my lord! I would have freaked out! Are moose friendly? My dogs would have tried to attack! They are nuts though.
ReplyDeleteGotta learn how to use the video clip on our phone and small camera. Wouldn't want to miss a photo op like this. lol
