    Notice no posted picture of him right in front of the front tire.
    was off the bike with it between me & the moose.
    Never laid he ears back or got his hackles up, but yea was a bit too close.
    Cars were slowing down & the movement & noise took his attention away from me .
    Young bull I think, can see antler spot on his head.
