That's why I gave him credit for aggro. I just have this picture of the two of them playing the "Let's chase the moose around and throw sticks and rocks at it" game before the moose attacked. I'm kneejerk pro-moose!
A couple years ago, a woman up here was attacked by a moose (the plural of which is moose, stupid article, trying to be funny). She did the American thing and attacked it. Shoved her fingers into it's nose, grabbed hold, and twisted until it ran away.

Taunt, while a good call in that situation, might not have been his best option. Challenging Shout would have rooted Moose and allowed them time to run. If he and sister were instanced however, Moose would have caught up. Ultimately, fine tanking and we should never judge a successful tank's methodology.

When's the last time you played WoW? Challenging shout is an AoE taunt it would have just taunted the moose maybe a few rabbits and a bear, I don't think his sister is a healing class either. Now Intimidating should may have feared/root the moose but it looks like he tried that and it was resisted.
I assume his sister used vanish as aggro wasn't placed on her after her bother feigned death.

Well in all honesty.. when the hunter feigns death, all the aggro should have gone to his pet (in this case his sister!!) Maybe the moose was bugged!! Well whatever the case it saved him and his sister a long run back from the graveyard!
I loved that comment.

He's just lucky it worked. Feigning death is how one deals with bears (and it's a crapshoot at best even then). The moose wasn't trying to eat him so it really didn't care if he and his sister were carrion or not.
And my cynical is showing. All we lack in our lives is someone using this as an example of how kids are acting out what they see in a videogame.

Actually I heard that "feigning death" to a bear is not that great, since they will "toss" and "beat" on the supposedly dead body a bit to make sure that it is dead. And getting tossed around by a bear is not a great thing...
To survive a close encounter with a hungry bear, your best bet is definitely someone else who doesn't have there shoes on

So how is that worse than a bear KNOWING you're alive and trying to kill you? o.O

"I don't need to out-run the bear. I just need to out-run you."
That's how I've heard it explained.
hehe so you have heard of the joke too

it is not Though maybe "challenging shout" would work better
I find it somewhat alarming that if it wasn't for WoW, the kid wouldn't be able to come up with this brilliant concept on his own. I think there's something to be said for rich-in-visuals media stifling one's imagination.

Don't play dead until the bear knocks you down. If you have surprised a sow and cubs, playing dead is the best option. If you are not being charged, and the bear appears to be young and curious, being aggressive with it is the answer, if you are not able to slowly back away. All of my Grizzly encounters, the bear and I acknowledge each other's presence, and go our own ways. One encounter with a large Black Bear Bruin could have turned out badly if I hadn't been with such a large group. Doing some off trail, cross country travel at a rapid pace when we saw a black bear hustle up the hillside adjacent to us. We admired then continued moving. At one point I jumped over a log and discovered the elk calf the bear had been feeding on. Would have been bad news if I had been alone.
These kids are very lucky. I consider moose more dangerous than bears, especially a cow protecting her calf. It doesn't take much for them to turn you into a bag of broken bones.
Meh... he should have laid down his ice trap and tamed it. Stupid hunter.

You know, an American boy would have pulled out his spare Bowie Knife and had moose burgers that night. Or died.

DAMN...I have lost the speed race. This was the first thing that popped into my head to..bravo
lol your comments made me wonder: what level was the moose? Or would you consider it to be? ;P
Who Am I?
Well if it didn't resist the feign of a 12 year old, I'd assume it was pretty low level. Must have wandered off from a starting area.
