Be gentle and yet be strong.
Most people don't know this but moose are actually very dangerous animals, there have been more deaths to moose than bears in Denali National Park. The general view is that they are gentle giants, which for the most part is true, but they can change in an instant and charge you. It's a very hair raising experience when they do. I've only had once charge me and I don't want it to happen again, luckily I was in a car. We were driving down the Seward Highway and there was a moose and two calves on the side of the road eating. Of course, I roll down my window to get some shots as we passed. Well we were moving slow, in case one jumped out into the middle of the road and the mother decided that we were a threat and charged the car. While everyone, moose included was safe, it got me thinking. It's important to be gentle with people and animals, but it's equally important to be able to be tough when you need to be. The thing is, you have to have both and know when to be what.
