A friend and his brother were chased down the length of Pickle Lake in Quetico by an amorous moose that responded to the brother's moose call. Fortunately, it turned out that two strong paddlers in a recreational canoe can out distance a swimming bull moose. -----Original Message----- I can honestly say that I'm not too worried about getting run down and trampled by a caribou while paddling (well, maybe a little). However, I would be terrified to be pursued by a polar bear or grizzly bear while on the water. Has anyone ever measured their swimming prowess and lived to tell about it?
