Today my wife and I rolled up on a young Moose. I was running up front on my KDX, and I got extremely close to it, initially. It just walked off to one side of the trail, and started walking parallel to the trail. My wife came rolling up behind me, and I told her that it was just over the next knoll, out of sight. We rolled up slowly, and we came upon it right away. It started trotting a bit faster, still parallel to the trail, but it was starting to veer off into the woods. We watched it for a few minutes, and it just trotted into a bunch of smaller trees, and stopped there, like it was trying to hide from us. It was neat to see, but my wife was getting nervous, so we rode away slowly and left it alone.
We got home, and I washed the machines up, and I started surfing the web. I heard an odd noise outside, like something small hit the house. Then I saw a flash of light. That got my attention, and I looked up to see a white BMW sitting in the road in front of our house. I walked outside, and the woman and kids in the car shouted "Bear!". I looked to the right, and a small bear was looking at me, maybe 10 feet away. He slowly turned and walked to our back yard, and the woman came running out of her car with a camera. She was making me nervous, chasing the bear from the right side of the house, to the left - the woman in the front of the house, and the bear in the back. I was just standing in the same spot, smiling. The bear eventually walked off into the woods, and the woman thanked me (for letting her run all over the yard, I guess), and got back in her car and left.
I was happy that she did not get mauled, and happy to see that bear again. It appeared to be the same size as the one we saw earlier this summer on our deck. I did not get pictures this time.
