  • This is a massive moose.  Note the size of his head.  He is resting in the tall grass and I sat with him for a long time.  He seems comfortable with me but keeps watch.
  • Large moose resting after a fine meal of young willow.
  • The bull moose will drop his antlers after mating season each winter.  New antlers will sprout in the spring.  Antlers grow rapidly within three to five months.  This fellow has a large rack.
  • As we meet each other in the heavy brush, we are both surprised.  He has been eating the sweet willow bushes and did not notice how close I was.
  • I was in a tree and the curious moose came over to see what was going on.  Unusual head shot.
  • Moose are herbivores and enjoy lots of greens and fruit.  Willow and Birch are a favorite.  Moose can often be found at dusk in large areas of willow.
  • Yes, a face only a Mother could love.  Well not exactly, I think moose are beautiful, cute as a button.  Look at those eyes and this incredible eye lashes.
  • I saw this giant from the road.  I parked the car and followed him into the brush.  We walked for about a mile, then he settled down and had a snack of willow.
