BLACKFOOT - Late in the afternoon on Friday, May 24, a turkey hunter was attacked by a female moose on a section of Bureau of Land Management land bordering the Snake River near Blackfoot.

According to Idaho Department of Fish and Game officials, the individual was hunting turkeys downstream of Wadsworth Island, a few miles south of the Blackfoot city limits, when he inadvertently startled a female moose with her twin calves.

The moose began to charge, and though he fired two warning shots at the ground in front of her, she was not deterred. As the moose knocked him to the ground, he was able to fire a third shot which made contact with the animal. The moose ran off, and the hunter was able to leave the area safely. The hunter reported to Idaho Fish and Game that he was “bruised up” and would seek medical attention if his injuries appear to be more serious.

Hope that poor moose mama is going to be okay. Her little ones need her.

I had encounter with mama moose once
I simply ran off but it was scary
One other time sow followed me for some distance after I surprised her and her two cubs, I actually kept her in sight and kept walking backwards for some distance
