How many times have I driven around the back corners of northwest Montana, keeping my eyes open for a moose? And then in the last month I've seen three, all in fairly well-traveled
areas of Idaho. The first was along the highway south of Bonners Ferry about three weeks ago. The other two we saw today, a cow and her yearling, pictured above. They were munching on some plants just off the side of the road, near the Spokane River in Post Falls. Next to a house.
(Out of about 150 shots, I got one worth keeping. The ones above aren't sharp enough, and the snow is overexposed.)

Yes, but the question is whether Mr. T then bought you the moose for Valentines Day. If not, are you sure he loves you?
Nah, he bought it for Christmoose.
I'm sorry, but they're just scary. I spent a few days in Jasper, Alberta several years back, and those things roamed right through the middle of town, day and night. If you were in a car, you had to dodge them. If you weren't in a car, you'd better find a car to get into so that it would be a fair fight.
Moose on the Loose

Kristy, this one just radiated that sense of "I Am The Antithesis of Danger Because I Just Want to Sit Here and Eat My Dead Leaves."
I know they can be dangerous if they decide you're a threat, but this one was the Forrest Gump of ungulates.
But I still stayed in the car. I've seen too many idiots in Glacier and Yellowstone who think its a grand idea to get really close to bighorns and buffalo and other large animals. I got into a real lather last year at Glacier because some extravagantly stupid family had their young children feeding a bighorn ram. Dumbasses.
That is the coolest TH! No moose in Philly.
Hey, I'm here to serve all your moose-related needs!
I wonder how far into the mountains you'd need to travel in PA to see these guys.
I've never seen a moose in person, but the Strib had some photos of one the other day. Those things are HUGE!!!! I think your photos are great - thanks for sharing!
