We saw this large male moose working his way across a small clearing knee deep in the willows last weekend. Picking and choosing small mouthfuls to eat yet walking with purpose from left to right. After a few minutes of good viewing this big guy headed back into the forest and out of sight. Medicine Bow National Forest, WY.
A wonderful sight!
Indeed a nice way to make the morning memorable. Hope your day is fine.
Glad he wasn’t walking towards you Mike. He is awesome!
Hi Val, this guy seem pretty focused on finding food that day and although quite aware of us just kept to his mission. Hope your day is going well.
Fabulous image, Mike!
Thanks Pete this was a handsome guy.
Oh, how I love the moose! I haven’t seen one since the last time I went to Montana. Tennessee has no moose.
Hi Diana, they are wonderful animals and it is always fun to get a peek at one and given you have no moose around you a trip is in oder.
Handsome and healthy bull with a fine wattle. Great capture, Mike. Rut is not a time I’d want to see one of these guys however. I’ve heard that they can be kind of cranky and unpredictable. 😉
Hi Eliza, I hear you but rest assured we were at a safe distance and tis photo was taken with a fairly long lens.
I expected as much. You’re no dummy! 🙂
Amazing, take care, be careful and clear skies.
Hi Carl, sorry for the tardy response to you comments. Just got busy and had to put comments on hold for a week. Hope your doing well and thanks for the feedback.
No problem, thanks.
Your welcome.
I can’t help thinking how silly moose look with their massive uppers and skinny little legs. But this guy, he’s tough looking.
Although those skinny legs keep them moving about in the willow and bogs I suspect. This guy was quite a handsome dude for sure.
Very, very impressive!
Hi Inger, thanks and hope your doing well and sorry for the delay in responding to your feedback.
