How to Survive a Moose Attack

By eHow Health Editor

Instructions

Step 1:
Reduce the odds of becoming a victim to a moose attack. Fall is mating season which will make the moose even more hostile than normal. Stand back if he spots you and give him plenty of space.
Step 2:
Keep your eye on the children in the winter months. Trim the thick brush where a moose could be hiding. Food is scarce during this time of year and it can draw the moose in closer to your home searching for a meal.
Step 3:
Spring into action. During spring and summer the mother will be extra quarrelsome if she feels her babies are in danger. If you realize that you're in an area with young calves leave immediately.
Step 4:
Recant your steps. If you stumble upon a moose near a bush don't throw things at it as you run away. This will only make a moose more likely to attack. Just run as fast as you can and get behind a large object.
Step 5:
Forget the games. Don't try to determine if a moose is calling your bluff or not. If it looks like the moose is about to attack take it as a serious threat and get out of the way even if it is a false charge.
Step 6:
Know the warning signs. If the moose has bowed its head and tucked its ears in (like a dog) these are serious warning signs for an attack. Often the moose will approach licking their lips and possibly kicking up their hooves.
Step 7:
Curl up in a ball on the ground and cover your head with your hands if you are trying to survive a moose attack. Lie completely still. Wait until the moose is entirely out of sight before attempting to flee the area.

Tips & Warnings

Never feed moose it is not only dangerous, it's illegal.
