I don’t see moose very often, they are fairly elusive creatures. So I was a bit surprised when this one stomped out of the woods on the edge of the path I was on. He (she?) stopped when he saw some people off in the direction he had been headed. A couple shutter clicks later he noticed me and how close I was, turned around and bolted back into the trees. They’re not particularly graceful and I could hear him crashing through the bush for a while after I could no longer see him.

That’s a close encounter! Looks like a yearling maybe the bumps are the beginning of antlers. Still have some winter hair. Nice that you got these.
Yeah definitely a youngster, it was a treat to see him.
Fabulous!
Thanks!
