Man to serve two months for 'heinous' snowmobile attack on moose Fri, 06 Jan 2006 CBC News A man from Newfoundland and Labrador has received a two-month prison term for charging a moose with a snowmobile and killing it with an axe. Anthony Norris, 25, of Trinity committed a "horrendous and heinous act," according to provincial court Judge Gloria Harding. Wildlife investigators said they received a tip days after the moose was killed in March 2005, when a group of people drove snowmobiles and ATVs to a party at a cabin near Indian Bay. When a moose wandered onto the groomed path, Norris plowed into it several times with his snowmobile until its hind legs were broken, said investigators. Norris then jumped on top of the animal, which put up a struggle to escape. People in the group decided the moose should be put down because of its injuries. Norris then killed the moose with an axe. He was convicted of harassing wildlife with a snowmobile and hunting big game without a licence. After serving his time, Norris will be on probation for two years and be prohibited from hunting for five years. The judge also ordered Norris to seek counselling. www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2006/01/06/nf-moose060106.html

I've not done the snowmobile thing, but I have ridden a motorcyle off and on over the years... I would say it would be a gutsy call taking on a moose with a snowmobile...
I know the bull moose that I saw year ago last summer up in the Kenai in front of my Kia rental car looked big enough to take on the car with no sweat...
