Video shows 2 Montana men teasing wild moose and being accused of it; no injuries reported other than “battered egos”

BIG SKY, Mont. (KABC) — Two men in Montana are lucky to be alive after a moose charged them, despite ignoring local residents’ warnings to leave the animal alone.

Video obtained by Eyewitness News shows a group warning the two men to get away from the moose.

However, they didn’t listen.

The video shows one of the men mocking the neighbor’s concern and gesturing at the moose.

“It’s a goddamn wild animal, get the fuck away,” the man can be heard yelling in the video.

After one of the men touches the animal, the moose turns and suddenly begins to attack. The man falls and begins to crawl away.

The person who took the video said none of the men were hurt except for a few “battered egos”.
