Kind of scary. When I was at Denali a ranger told me that more people are injured by moose than bears. Unlike me, you managed to get a picture of the big guy. Good job!

It's an animal you pay a lot of respect to, give it plenty of space, and let it know you're around, but I've never felt worried while being around them.<br /><br />@Grace: during rutting season they're fighting with other males for the rights to mate with a female, so those antlers come to good use.<br /><br />@Sharon: my parents have seen them passing through the yard outside the house where they lived for a number of years.<br /><br />@MB: yes, you want to give him a wide berth.<br /><br />@Karl: it's a real treat to see them.<br /><br />@EG: go on up to Algonquin in April or May. They'll be around the roadsides. Granted, the males don't have antlers that time of year, but they are bigger than the females, so it's easy to tell them apart.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-22105415943477548712014-09-17T10:53:30.703-04:002014-09-17T10:53:30.703-04:00Lucky you to have seen a moose with antlers!
