The biggest animal in that area would be a deer, or possibly an elk a looooong way from home. Either one would run away.

Moose don't live that far South, and the bears stay near the mountains, which are vary far away from Boundary road near Lynden. But of course non-locals wouldn't know this, so they wouldn't realize how preposterous it sounds when they spin their tale to the police.

What? I saw a moose standing in a pond in Idaho, south of the 49th parallel, and there are bears all over the Pacific northwest.

> Moose don't live that far South

There are meese all over the northern US, which is - last I checked - south of Canada. I encountered two (a mother and her calf) when hiking in the Tetons as a kid, and apparently there are a bunch in Northern Nevada.
