Moose on the Loose
I was about 10' from a moose today!
Took Lefty for a walk and just after starting out I look over to the side and next to a speed limit sign is A MOOSE! Just looking at us. Perhaps 10' away. Pitter-Patter goes my heart.
I change directions and head back home and tell Bill, who looks out the front window and says 'there's the moose'. So, I got a couple of seconds of her crossing the street. You can see the speed limit sign at the end of the clip, as she returns back to that side of the street. That's where we were walking, on that side of the road, and she was standing by the sign.
Took video from our front windows.
You don't have to go to Alaska to be up close and personal with a moose.

I love the fact that your neighbours phoned you to tell you there was a moose outside your house!
Is she hanging around looking for food because of all the snow?

There has been two of them in different backyards the last week or two(we saw them from afar about a week ago). At the end of our (1/2 mile) dead end street is the start of the National forest, so perhaps they came down to munch on some trees. We don't really have a lot of snow right now. We've seen them here over the years but this was the first time I'd been THAT close. I can now check that event off my list!

I agree that it is HILARIOUS that your neighbors called, and that you knew it was them and why! I've seen some strange things walking around my neighborhood...but never a moose!! Great Vid!
