A couple of hunting buddies got attacked by a cow moose one time. They were floating the Madison, fly fishing for browns with a couple other guys, all in one big rubber raft. They rounded a corner and saw a calf in the middle of the river. Bullwinkle's wife just exploded from the shrubbery about 50 yards downstream, coming at them hell bent for election. They all bailed from the raft and did their very best Jesus imitations, scampering accross the water for the cover of the banks. I bet their feet didn't even get wet.
The cow destroyed the raft and everything in it. One of my buddies just happened to have his camera around his neck when he departed the raft, and he got some pictures of the moose shredding the thing. To make matters worse, she smashed the cooler and darn near every beer can in it. Thousands of dollars worth of high end fly rods and reels, everything destroyed. They really thought they were next. Fortunately, she seemed quite pleased with her job on the raft, gathered up her calf, and left.
