Talked with a bunch of rangers from the white mountains asked them what they feared most in the woods. Hands down all of then said a Bull Moose in the rut. He isn't afraid of anything and is big enough to do a lot of damage when he wants to.
So be careful with the moose this time of year. ThomT
Well aware of the danger Thom...I stayed on the opposite side of the truck....I was afraid a larger parent moose may be nearby....so I was quite careful...had that been a full grown 2000 pound behemoth.....I would have gone on by and watched from up the road....I don't need that trying to mount me!
gotta love coming accross random wildlife! I came accross a huge buffalo while fly fishing in the Yellowstone backcountry in May. We fished on one side of the river and he stayed on his side just doing his thing and giving us a look once in awhile. Doesnt get any better...But you always have to be careful...they may look docile but they can snap on a mements notice. I wish my buddys laptop that had the pic of me fishing with the buffalo in front of me didnt get stolen. Man i would kill to have that pic back
very nice pics!!
we were up in northern maine...arriving soon to our rented cabin
and came across three of -em....a huge male with humongus antlers
and two smaller females....we instantly stopped and they let us watch
them for 20 minutes.....as we stayed perfectly still...
then they blended into the bushes.... it's a rush for sure
and similarly we had always wanted to see some moose.
Thanks BF those are some really cool shots.Something you'll always remember. Never forget, i was coming home from California on Amtraks Zefpher in Jan and had just come thru the 7 canyons as the train turned into a bowl.
There was a herd of elk feeding over the snow as the sun was going down behind the mountains casting a purple hue in the bowl on the snow. No one could ever imagine or paint that scene. Indelible in my mind.
