Bullwinklette and Friends

Greataa phots Jesse.  We were in Anchorage two years ago and stayed at a great bed and breakfast. We saw eagles flying and moose right in the front yard. Amazing and beautiful.

I love the pictures, thank you for sharing.

Jesse, I love Mooses, however, I thought they were a bit more docile?  I guess any mama with her young will kick butt.  So awesome you have such great wildlife to see first hand.  Love that stuff.

Bears and wolves and mooses oh my!!!!  You never told me that you were co-habitating with the wildlife.  This sounds like a feature article in National Geographics.  ;-)

Jesse - Some wonderful photographs and fun post. When I was younger my father shot with a bow & arrow a moose that was over 800 lbs, he was quite frightened and never hunted again after this.

Jesse,

Besides obvious taste and skills, you gotta have a good camera and good lenses. I have a feeling that I am so close tht I better be agile. Same feeling I had with the photo of the bear. It was so close, i thought I could feel the smell.

Thanks

Great pictures Jesse. Those meese are huge. Can you eat them? Maybe with a nice Key....an.....tee

I'll remember that the next time I run in to a moose in Fair Oaks.  Thanks... (Actually we have mountain lions... and wild turkeys!)

Great photos and reminds us about the wild.  The wild here consist of teenager drivers, soccer moms driving while putting on makeup and the occassional 12 yr old joy riding in dad's car.

Hi Jesseand Kathy -- What a great few shots you got.  Thanks for sharing.  We lived in Maine for a year and saw a few mooses.  Once, we were traveling down an old logging road and this big guy was right in the middle of the road and wouldn't move.  I slowly backed up for quite a long way to avoid getting charged by him.  He didn't exactly remind me of Bullwinkle from my cartoon days.

Hey Jesse We get way too many crashes from these big fellos up my way... Moose wins again compact car,...a back yard buddy, but bad to meet on the road going 50 mph.

Jesse,

Love the Mooses picture best...or is it Meese...or Moose, but how do you know I meant the one with Mama and baby...Oh, what the heck...Happy Easter...Thanks,   Fran

Mama looks a bit more fierce than bullwinkle. I watched one of our "back yard deer" equally accustomed to wandering through our neighborhood put her head down and charge the lab next door when he barked at her and her younguns. Our dog is terrified of the deer, and won't go outside when they are around.

Jessie, I have not seen a lot of moose but I must say that is the largest I have ever seen.

Hi Jesse,

Oh my what great photos. I loved Northern Exposure, seeing moose as part of the citizen population was a hoot. But I especially liked the cast of characters, what an eclective group.

Definitely not something I would expect to see here in the "wilds" or Orange County.  You did a great job getting the shots - safe and smart not withstanding  : )

See you really do have a better life up their in Alaska, if you don't count volcanoes. Just relax and enjoy!

Ah yes Jesse...it's all about the shot, no argument from me.  These animals so look beautifully healthy, a pleasure to behold.  To answer your question, I'm using the Canon 100-400mm image stabilized...great lens and I highly recommend it.  Miss that show too!

Yeoww that guy looks big - i would stay away from him too, Jesse and Kathy !

Excellent photos - thanks for sharing them with us!  I've always wanted to see a moose somewhere other than a zoo.  Since Alaska is one of the 4 states I have yet to visit, I'll have to make sure to get up there soon.
