saw a female about half mile from the camp this morning.she was in a ''shadow '' area,so ,my reaction time was nt too fast.no pics.

then about half a mile further ,another moose on the road.he was so far ,could nt tell what it was ,about 900'.started to walk.so ,the bull is the guilt about the leg of the tree stand..saw him for 15-20 mins.while walking ,there was another one calling on the left side of the road.

after that ,went in a small clearcut,i was on way to put my foot on the ladder ,lots of noise.hurried up to see what it was.another female ,she started to run and whooopsss!! the calf.she ''clutched '' for the road ,about 400' away .climbed down the stree stand runned ,''wide open '' for the road.almost perfect timing !!!

did nt even wait 5 ''.here s the mom+calf crossing the road!!!

with all the calls i heard,there was 7-8 mooses on our territory .by 7 45 am ,i returned to that tree stand ,with the missing leg.i could hear a coyote barking maybe 2-3 miles !!

suddently ,there was one in the clearcut less than 800' from .he started to bark.whoooooooooooooooooo!!!whoooooooo!!

i thought it was the fire truck coming !!ha!!ha!!ha!!

Thank you Groomer, for the picture - Sitting in my office here in PA with it raining outside like cats and dogs :angry: I needed something enjoyable to look at so I do not bite someone's head off.

I'm better now!

love on the road !!ha!!ha!!ha!! :lol::lol::lol:

wednesday morning while riding saw those 2 lovers in the middle of the road,1.5 miles from the camp.

the rooster was trying to ''gain '' the heart of that queen ,doing his ''nuptial dance'' making circle around her and showing his wings and feather !!almost funny to see that.

looks like he was a bad dancer ,she dumped him on the side of the road !!ha!!ha!!ha!!

this morning ,while riding ,he was almost at the same place looking for another queen i guess !!
