a f***ing idiot ~ moose are returning update
Monday, November 17, 2008 at 11:25AM 
Last week I made an entry about attempting to picture a moose in the wild. In that entry I mentioned the idiots who shot a moose in our area.
Well, those jerks still have the honor of being the worst, but the moron pictured here (from the front page of today's Lake Placid News) is running a close second.
The thing that makes this all the more idiotic is the fact that several onlookers were yelling at and imploring the woman to back off and leave the moose alone. To which she replied, "I know what I'm doing."
The one thing that makes this incident incomplete is that the moose kept her cool and didn't get violent. Not that I want anyone to get hurt (well maybe I really do want that), but if that happens, I certainly hope that the horse doesn't get injured.

Aaron bags a moose - most likely a calf of the cow pictured above.

Like I always say,"Stupid people, Gods entertainment for the rest of us."
Definitely first in the running for the "DARWIN AWARD".
Also a good reason why some should eat their young.
So---What the hell was she doing? Just trying to get a closer look? Holy Cow!
according to the paper Mary, she was trying to pet the moose. The article didn't conclude as to what the outcome was though?
Thanks Aaron. It'd be interesting to know the outcome. Maybe the lady's horse helped to break the ice with the moose. ;-) Maybe she's a bonafide moose whisperer...
if calf's are 6ft. at the shoulders then you're right, but I'm guessing she was just a young cow. It's been reported that there are now 5 different moose in that area (3 cows, 1 calf, 1 bull).
I went back twice yesterday and the second time another photographer was there with his 300mm lens. He and I found her on a trail behind the clearing and she is not shy nor aggressive.
