Big Bull Moose in Big Sky Country!
This bull moose was spotted just south of Red Lodge, Montana on the morning of October 6, 2009.
I got alerted to his presence by my dogs who kept on barking. He was standing there (big and tall) and I could not believe his sheer size and the contrast of his figure with the snow (hard to miss seeing him once you have your head turned in the right direction!). I was able to get my camera and take this photo through the slight opening of my door. However, the loud barking of my dogs also alerted him of my presence and he did not want to stay around for more photos. He started running away and not even my powerful zoom lens could snap another good photo of him.
My previous bull moose sighting was about a year ago and in the same spot as if the moose (not sure if it the same one) decided to pay me an annual visit. Not sure what hit me (perhaps the fact that I was running out of photos to share on my Moose Monday group and needed some new ones) but it took me a few seconds to decide to go on a moose chase, a first! I made sure to attend to the dogs and leave them securely in the house, put on some warm clothes (I was still in my comfortable morning clothes but did not bother changing, only adding more layers), put my winter boots on, take my camera, hop in the car and go on a moose chase! The adrenaline was rushing in me....
