Bull Moose

The afternoon was boring. All morning we walked around and saw no sign. We were driving back out to the main road and glancing to the right I see the trees along the road shaking.  Tell my dad to stop hoping this was going to be our break and there was going to be an elk by the road. The timber was really thick and it was hard to see what was on the other side. We sat and sat and sat; Just waiting to see what was behind this line of thick trees. After about 10 minutes this mysterious animal showed himself. The paddles of the biggest moose I have ever seen emerged from the branches. He came out into full view and he was the most majestic animal I have ever seen. Only a few moments after him another big moose came out as well. Not as big as the first one but still a trophy bull. We sat and watched them just graze. They knew that we were there but they didn’t seem to care. Maybe after about 5 minutes the bushes began to rustle again. Emerging from the trees was a little baby rag horn Bull Moose. It was like a three generation picture. One of the coolest things I have ever seen.
