Recognizing a potentially dangerous situation

Calf and cow moose are frequently seen by our anglers. Larry and Jason Pons photo.

There's never any problem observing a cow moose with her calf, or calves, as long as you are at a respectful distance such as these photographers were in their boat while the moose walked along the shore.
Never, however, approach a moose and her calf on land or get between them on the water. Cows are extremely protective of their young and will almost certainly attack if they think you are a threat.
