I'll say.

They probably already know it, if they're real moose hunters and not a
wannabe.

No, they avoid them by leaving the area.

That's because you didn't sneak through the woods, you made noise and they
knew where you were.

So you're a moose mind reader now. That's interesting. Wolves and bear
(bear is singular and plural, not bears) are predators and all
non-predators avoid them, naturally. That isn't to say that a moose will
run away if or when it is attacked. You know this by observing the mother
of a calf. You were more scared than the calf.

See, you do know that moose are dangerous. So do the wolves and bear.

Wrong. She can be aggressive anytime she wants to be. As will the bull
moose.

 BF> She called for her calf and run off.

Yeup. Because she's not a domesticated animal and instinctively knows
that there may be danger with any other being in the vicinity.

If you provided them with deer corn and a salt lick, they wouldn't. These
people who feed them have nice yards with flowers and berry bushes in
them. They'll eat anything edible if they're hungry.
