Had a timber wolf walk within four feet of me when I was 12. Pushed a deer off me with a 16 ga. barrel once. The worst scare for me definitely was being within 50 feet of bull moose while I was on the ground twice. Once out in the middle of North Dakota where it was 3 miles at least to any kind of water. Had a dog point a bear in a den and been close to bears but those moose scare me. Had one dog that pointed deer regularly. When you walk up and flush that at your feet instead of a grouse it'll make you flinch.
