Nice Picture

I like how he is just chilling there. He know where the good views are at I guess. Nice shot!

Re: Nice Picture

Thanks. He looks serene in the picture but actually he seemed pretty ornery (as they sometimes are this time of year) and he kind of ran us off the part of the ridge where you see him. So I think he's really posing and saying "Yeah, get out and stay out."

Re: Nice Picture

Not a moose expert, but the ones in Alaska
seem to be far more aggressive than the ones
in Utah.

Arizona doesn't have any !!!

Re: Nice Picture

I don't know about their Utah cousins, but one of the ones here was responsible for my only injury at the hands of wildlife ... well, truthfully, the moose never touched me and I hurt myself by getting my feet tangled up trying to get AWAY from the moose, but I still blamed the dern thing. Fortunately, my moose was not as mean as this one:

Fantastic

This is one of the better wildlife shots. Awesome lighting. and nice contrast between the moose horns and the water.
