They actually are very good at hiding when they want to. They can move through the bush so quiet that even hunters often just find the tracks after sitting on a watch for hours. When directly threatened they run, they do this very well too and can cover a lot of ground in just a short time. When push comes to shove and they can do nothing else they can fight with horns and hooves often killing with a direct blow to a predator unlucky enough be in the way. A moose's front hooves are pointed and very sharp, and they can rear up and strike out with those hooves ripping their opponent (be it a bear, wolf, human, or even a horse) to shreds.

Antlers, if not their hooves. Deers will usually pretend to ram predators as a warning.

They protect themselves from predators by charging them because they have antlers that can total a semi!

Moose can kick you with both the front and back legs. The antlers can also be used for self defense. And mind you, moose bites can be pretty nasty.

Moose use their antlers if male; if female, moose run towards the threat in an effort to stampede (run over) whatever the threat may be.
