Don't tell me they can't be fast. I once walked around a spruce tree into the open end of a 3-sided deadfall pocket. 30 feet away, an estimated 5 or 6 year old bull jumped to his feet, pivoted, and leaped (flat-footed, as it were) over the roughly 7 foot high, multi-tree deadfall behind him before I got the gun half raised.

I gave him only an 8.5, because he touched it with a hind foot going over...

That is the most impressive thing I've ever seen a moose do, physically.


The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
