I experienced encounters with moose twice while in Alaska. A mamma and calf were crossing the highway, we nearly struck the calf, the car did a 360, both mamma and calf ran off, we were ok. Another time, I was trail running and came upon a moose... I slowly backed off then ran back to camp... I'd heard that moose will stomp you to death if there's a calf around. While in Alaska I was taught to run from moose but not from bears.
