Da Moose (pic heavy)

pjaye · May 26, 2016

Shortly after I first joined the forum, I was (as usual) complaining that I could not find a single moose in Algonquin. Someone (Dark Shadow? BillM?) made me an avatar of a panda with a moose head. I've come a long way since then. The moose were unusually cooperative in Algonquin yesterday. Sorry for the amount of pictures, I tried to narrow it down.

2. Moose apparently find me hilarious.

4. Can you spot him?

5. This one scared me. I was across the road. A very safe distance. Then she decided that she was going to walk towards me! Thankfully, she lost interest at some point and wandered off. I just had visions of her crushing my very tiny car.

6. Another timid one.

7. But I was patient.

Thank you!
I am always careful. I was right beside my car door ready to jump in if necessary.

Good, we wouldn't want to lose you, you are an awesome member. I read that they are pretty mellow but have been known to charge when they feel threatened. I have no interest in getting my 280lbs near them intentionally.

Aww thank you. And yes, they will charge if threatened, I'm always pretty careful. I'm also not nearly as close as it looks in the pictures. 270mm lens and cropping.
