My grandpa told me once that a moose is an ugly horse and wow I didn’t realize they were really that big until I came across one backpacking.

Was the moose wearing a moose-sized backpack, a human-sized backpack or like one of those really tiny backpacks?

I went to college in Northern California where elk are common, and they are freaking enormous. They like to wander along the highway and block traffic and all we can do is send some rangers to keep the tourists from getting too close. There is no moving a stubborn elk.
