Russian Jack Springs Park North — Attraction in Alaska

A truley Alaskan little 9 hole golf course. A friend and I got chased by a moose who didn't like us playing through on hole 5.

Bear are not a problem though, they avoid contact and keep thier distance if they know your around. Moose on the other hand...usually not a problem (I thought till we got chased) but if in rut and a cow is close, bulls will attack. Or if they feel threatened.
