For those not well versed in moose facts, the shedding of antlers is normally a fairly lengthy process. It happens only once a year after mating season and usually consists of a moose losing one antler at a time. It’s incredibly rare for a bull moose to lose both at the same time—and even more rare that someone would actually catch it on film. That’s why shed hunter (yes, that’s a real term) and woodsman Derek Burgoyne calls his footage of the phenomenon a “one-in-a-million” shot.

A fed bear is a dead bear.

Just as there are a plethora of things you can do to avoid being attacked by a bear, there are a number of things you can do that virtually assure you'll be charged by one. Feeding bears pretty much guarantees that either the idiotic human that fed the wild animal will be attacked or that the bear will eventually have to be put down.

When bears become accustomed to being fed by humans, they start to hang around and approach humans more often. This obviously creates dangerous situations, and if it doesn't end tragically and...

 The grizzly bear, long an icon of American’s Mountain West, has bounced back since being placed on the endangered species list in 1975, with at least 2,000 roaming the country.The population growth is a major conservation success, so much so that the bears were removed from the list in 2017, but the increase means that humans and bears are encountering each other more often. The apex predators, which can top 500 pounds, seem increasingly comfortable across a range that’s grown to some 27,000 miles—a development that’s put them in new and dangerous situations, as well as their human counterparts,...
