The first year my youngest son went deer hunting, we were walking a fallow field that was fairly level. As my son approached a very slight depression, a young moose suddenly rose from it. They are so tall, it seemed like they keep getting up forever and one wonders how such a small dip could hold such a large creature.
My son stopped dead in his tracks and instinctively shouldered his little .243 caliber. He was still pretty wide eyed when I caught up with him later. The other hunter we were with had stayed at his truck. Having observed at a distance, he said he had a momentary fear that the kid was going to shoot.
Interesting experience. There are not many moose in North Dakota in the southern and central regions.
