Moose Charges Snowmobiling Couple in Maine
A New Hampshire couple got more than they bargained for while snowmobiling in Jackson, Maine. The couple, identified by WBZ as Janis and Bob Powell of Belmont, N.H., were riding along a snowmobiling trail on Friday when a moose jumped out in front of them.

In a video of the exchange, uploaded to YouTube by the couple, Bob Powell tried to keep the snowmobile between himself and the moose. He fell back to his wife’s machine when the moose charged. With no trees to use as cover, Janis Powell fired a warning shot toward the moose. Unperturbed, the moose stared at the couple for a few seconds longer before ambling off down the trail.
