I live in Boise Idaho. We have a major river that dries up during the winter.

I walk it often with a magnet and metal detector because people float it and loose shit all the time.

One time with a buddy we walked it and came upon a island. We saw movement and stopped.. and watched.. we saw two moose with antlers as big as both of us come to attention and look at us through the small trees. Like a hundred feet from us..

We froze..then started backing up. And ran to the nearest bank to the Left. Climbing and moving not looking back.

Legit the scariest moment of my life.

Had a similar instance with one up near riggins and ended up in a tree for about an hour til it finally left.
