Well, this is not a situation that you are taught how to handle in driver’s education. I think if it were me, I would certainly let the big boy cross ahead of me, even if there is no crosswalk. 😀

I spent over an hour and a half with this handsome young fellow and his buddy last month in what was one of the most fun moose encounters I have had this year. I had initially spotted them a few hundred yards off the road so I hiked in to get within photo range (while maintaining a respectful distance). They slowly ate their way back toward the road then headed off into the forest once the morning temperatures started to climb.
