What are your guys thoughts on this, reading a lot of comments on youtube and people are saying it's the rider's fault for antagonizing the moose

I've watched a few episodes of Alaska State Troopers, so I'm an expert.  Let me weigh in.

 

I think a big part is how important was it for him to maintain his course?  Was he heading home, or heading out??  If he's heading home, then it's completely justified.  If he was just goofing off and unwilling to change his plans, then it's wrong imo.  But he wasn't antagonizing it, he was trying to chase it away.  And moose are very prone to charging.

it's hard to tell from the video but it looks like there is a trail shooting off the left at the beginning, once he got past that if his sled didn't have reverse he was pretty much committed to that direction of travel
