What should you do if a moose charges you?
Luckily, however, most moose charges are bluff charges—a warning that it’s better for you to leave. Even though it might just be a “bluff” charge, it’s still a warning you shouldn’t ignore. The second charge could be an actual attack. Either way, bluff charge or moose attack, you should get out of the area immediately.

What happens to Moose if they are not fed?
Moose that are fed by people often become aggressive when they are not fed as expected. They may attack another person who has no food to offer. A moose with a history of unprovoked attacks on people may have to be killed to protect public safety. Even if moose seem quiet and gentle, they can change their disposition rather quickly.
