A fly fisher who accidentally spooked a cow and calf moose from their bed while moving through the brush along the Little North Fork of the Coeur d’Alene River had a tense encounter for 20 minutes the other day. He was able to get up the only tree in the clearing during her charge, although he broke his Sage rod in  the process. He called the S-R to warn other anglers to be aware that moose are especially protective at this time/Rich Landers, SR. More here.

Question: Have you ever had a close encounter with a large, wild animal?
