Hey Folks,

Here’s a quick one while I’m hiking. I saw this bull moose a few times this spring, feeding on the aquatic plants that grow on the lake bed this time of year. Quite a rack for early June. He’ll be quite a sought after moose come this fall when the subsistence hunters look around Wrangell – St. Elias National Park for their winter meat. As much as I like for my friends to eat well, I hope nobody gets this guy.

Cheers

Carl

   Wow, beautiful shot Carl. You really get a feel for how big this guy is in this image.
   I always hope that great examples if a species like thus will be spared to preserve the gene pool. Wishful thinking only I guess.

   P.s. I thought you would be the first one to promote hiking safety by not hiking and posting at the same time.

   Hey Mark,

   Thanks man. If you think this guy is big, wait til you see the next moose photo I post.

   As for hiking and posting, actually, I wrote the note ahead of time, and scheduled it to post to the site on the given date. I’m some kind of blogging guru to be able to do that, I reckon, I do.

   Cheers

   Carl

   I guess I’ll go hungry unless he shows up in the yard or some nearby haunt. I hope he heads for the hills as today is season opener.

   Hey Mark,

   I hope you don’t go TOO hungry – but I hope he stays well, too.

   Cheers
