My scariest animal encounter was in a canoe... a worried cow moose mistook me for her missing calf as I was launching the boat. She swam out and followed half way across the lake, crying and grunting the whole time, before giving up and going back to shore. My son and I paddled like crazy to stay ahead of her! Funny thing is, that's not the only time a cow moose has mistaken me for a calf!! =8-0 Karen ;-) dldecker_at_se.mediaone.net wrote: > > At 08:15 AM 4/21/99 -0400, Del Belaire wrote: > >Thanks for the pictures, makes my scariest animal encounter in a kayak sound > >pretty tame.
