Snowmobiler Shoots Moose

[Driftingbig]

Saw this the other day and was shocked. Personally I have had 2 encounters with moose on a sled and both times we both went our separate ways without incident. A little bit of respect goes a long way in my mind. What are your thoughts?

There is already a post with this vid.

Wrong title. It Should say a-hole on snowmobile shoots moose.

 

[Driftingbig]

Thanks Summiteer skipped passed it when i searched earlier. And Drew I agree.

Only an american would ride with a pistol.... im sure firing a shot into the snow would have been enough to scare it away. He didnt have to kill it. Then they post a vid of it on youtube, what a ****ing idiot

I love the title. "Shoots an attacking moose". Attacking?? Defensive moose gets shot and left for dead by D Bag is a better title. It is to bad I can't talk to this guy straight up. Anyone who carries while sledding has issues in the first place but the main point is this. Get your sissy ass off the trail and go around you half wit.

What are the laws in the states about this stuff, surely it can't be considered self defense. Even Ted Nugget would agree this guy doesn't deserve the right to own firearms. Some people really piss me off.

This infuriates me.

I have no real good choice of words to describe this.

Ive had encounters as well and neither of them ended like this even if i was carrying a gun. I hope he gets attacked by a moose in his sleep!

What kind of DIRTBAG would carry a hand gun on a sled, what is he scared of his shadow. This scumbag goes out with the idea of shooting something if the opertunity appears.
This infuriates me as well, the moose was traped and had no where to go in the deep stuff, it knew that. He agrevated it till it felt threated and tried defend it self.
I hope somebody is able to do something about this, this guy should be imprisson.

Had the same thing happen on the trail up to Allen a couple years back. Saw Moose at kilometer 5 or so and the damn thing wouldn't let anyone by. Tried stopping and giving it some space etc but five minutes later it hadn't moved, tried to coax it off the trail by driving closer and it would just run up the trail lol. By the time we hit kilometer 8 or so it had had enough and wouldn't budge. By now there are fifteen sleds behind us we were all parked blocking the path down completely. She finally charged but at the last second jumped down the mountain. All told that took half and hour, no one died everyone went on to have a nice day including one tired and pissed off cow lol. A little patience is all that is needed.

read another article about this incident, and fish&wildlife is looking for more information about this incident..... hope they catch and charge the bugger!!!!

Only in the usa. I wonder if that was a cariboo how this would all play out..

 

[Dnk09]

Agreed on going around!!! The guy didn't need to keep going closer. And the trail opened up into a meadow just past. Easily he could've went around. Typical idiot! It's people like this who deserve to be fined and jail time as well.

 

[Highfly]

Just another idiot looking for an excuse to use a gun.

 

[deaner]

That was horrible. The worst part is how he rides away and leaves the poor thing for dead.

 

[snowrideadventures]

Few things have ever made me so angry, this pussy belongs in jail!!!! Its really too bad that a few very rotten apples are able to do so much damage to our sport. What an F-ing idiot!!!!!

Do we have evidence its in the states? I know guys who talk about carrying a gun to kill coyotes (theres a big bounty in some parts on them) but they never do it. Canadians can get hand guns easily too.

According to the info on Youtube it sounds like it took place in the states.
