That story reminds me of when another love sick bullwinkle almost tripped over the guy line of my super tarp. I'm blind and for the 1.5 seconds it took to find my glasses I had NO IDEA what was going on.
Same creek bottom as the previous story. I should go moose hunting there.
I wouldn't worry about being ambushed by a predator unless your in grizzly country. Being surprised by a cow moose is about 1,000 times scarier than a black bear, lion or wolves.
We killed a bear in Gospel Hump and when we got to Grangeville I found a tick buried in my scalp. Took plyers to get it out. It was also May of 2020 and disinfectant was sold out everywhere...
