Moose Monday - Bull Moose By the Fence in Red Lodge, Montana

Moose Monday - Bull Moose By the Fence in Red Lodge, Montana

Bull Moose in Red Lodge, Montana

Here is a Bull Moose which I photographed in Red Lodge, Montana in October 2008.  He was in a hurry but I am glad I was quick enough to snap the photo of him above.  This photo was cropped to get the picture for the new group on ActiveRain:  Moose Monday.  Isn't he a good looking bull moose from Red Lodge?

Moose Monday 

This is the Group to share everything that is Moose. It can be an actual photo of a real moose, anything (object, work of art, etc.) that depicts a moose and/or a story involving moose. Start your week well with Moose Monday!

 

Today, I am taking my dad for his first visit to Yellowstone National Park.  I look forward to spending some quality time with him and I will keep my eyes open to capture a few more moose photos to share with the online community.

It's Good to Be Here!!

Kevin and Monica,

I have seen moose on 5 different occasions in the last year and a half (4 occurrences in Red Lodge and once in a prior visit to Yellowstone).   I think the odds of seeing moose are much bigger in Yellowstone.

Thank you for all the nice comments above.   I am off to Yellowstone for two days.   I will answer any future comments upon my return.   I am hoping to do some more moose sightings.

Hi Gerry ~ What a hunk! That is a good looking moose! And I just love the idea of Moose Monday.  What a riot.

Hi Gerry, I know your Dad is going to love his first visit to Yellowstone! Luckily he has a good guide, and you already know where all the neat spots are.  The park is so huge, are you going to stay over?  Love the photo of the Bull Moose, by the way, that is a great shot!

Gerry, your "moose spotting" looks to be a very big boy, but his rack doesn't look huge, maybe he's younger than his size suggests?  I don't know enough about moose, do they shed their antlers like deer? As for the "mouse spotting", hopefully he was NOT a very big boy...Nice to get to show your dad MT in the fall!

Mary,

You are coorect.  My dad did love his first visit and when I asked him what he liked the best about his two day visit of Yellowstone, he said without hesitation "Everything!".

We did stay over one night at a nice motel in West Yellowstone.  I am glad you like this moose photo.  Thank you for dropping by and I love your new profile photo.

Cheryl,

I did recently learn that the moose shed their antlers every year.  I will try and provide more info about the moose on my next Moose Monday post.   Thanks for the comments on this very big boy.   I enjoyed every minute of showing my dad some of the nice and beautiful features of Yellowstone park.

I find it inspirational that meese are still running around wild and free. You should join the Inspired by Nature group and post this there, too.

Gerry, I imagine he did like everything, including spending time with his son.  Dad's are like that!

Al and Peggy,

I sure did.  Trying to figure out what post should I write to bring me above the milestone.  Will it be Moose Monday?

Russel,

I am already a member of that group.  I joined long ago and have posted there several times.  My last Moose Monday post (Moose Monday - Thirsty Moose Just Outside Yellowstone National Park) was pôsted to the group.  I will make sure my next Moose Monday post gets also posted on there.

Cynthia,

One more day to spend with my dad in Red Lodge.   I know I will miss him as soon he returns to Montreal.   But, I am hoping to get to see him and my mom later this year for the holidays.

Mary,

He mentioned he loved it more than Southern California (where I used to live) and Cuba where he and my mom go for vacation every year.
