wonder how cold it gets in Australia

It snows.
But it gets mega hot here. Like upwards of 130+ degrees.

Wow thanks for the welcome. I was merely trying to participate. At least I did not say I would throw poison darts at it. How does anyone know If I would kill the moose or not? No one survives a moose attack? We have moose in Michigan also. But I am sure they are not “the same” Give me a break

The original question was how do you survive that kind of thing. No one said there's no surviving it. Everyone's point of view is welcome here, but if I think a response is stupid, I'm going to say so, and I expect the same back. I also tend to wisecrack and kid around, hopefully we can differentiate between dry humor and serious responses. I have two questions: how many charging moose have you ever seen? how many moose have you killed in your life?

When I suggested to people that getting out of a charging moose's way is their best advice, that's solid experience ok? I have no reason to tell them differently. If someone is inexperienced in those kinds of environments, then they're probably not all that experienced at shooting moving animals either. Any animal that charges isn't going to do it from some great distance away, it would probably be less than 50 feet. An angry bull moose covers that ground in seconds, lowering it's head and plowing down anything in it's path. YOu're not going to get a decent first shot and if you stand there, you're not going to get a second shot. It really is that simple, no one's trying to challenge your mastery of firearms here. Science has yet to devise a measuring instrument that can give a fair indication of how little my interest is in how dangerous you consider yourself and your rifle.

I agree wholeheartedly with your response to the throwing darts, by the way, but I believe the question was asked in earnest....possibly by someone who has less experience than some of the others here in forests and thought it a serious enough concern to ask. So, I also believe that person deserves the best answer possible and I've grown thoroughly tired of answers reeking of testosterone and based on ego rather than real life experience. Please continue to post and respond to posts, I honestly laughed my butt off when you responded to the survival scenario about keeping your eyes peeled for pi$$ed off moose.As far as this particular thread goes, I'm done with it, I hope Chris toasts it, so if you want to respond to me personally, pick another posting or I'll never see it.

I've been attacked by both chocolate mousse as well as a spray can of the stuff. Lesson? Don't tick your wife off!
