Always Watchful
Despite Emma now having reached full maturity as a “wild” animal, she never stopped loving and caring for Erikas. But love alone cannot protect you from danger, and the threat of hunters remained a scarily real possibility for the moose. Erikas was understandably concerned. He kept to his fatherly oath and would do his best to keep Emma out of harm’s way, even if it meant coming up with another trying plan.

Against All Odds
Erikas was not about to leave Emma to the hunters, but even he admitted that his new scheme was risky. There was room for error, meaning that Erikas had to go to extreme lengths this time, even if it meant bringing Emma face-to-face with her nemeses. Erikas invited the hunters over, to make sure that they knew that this animal was off-limits. Erikas commented that “I had a lot of hunters over for them to see her as not just a nice, warm steak with potatoes and vegetables on the table, but as a very intelligent and loving animal.”
