Moose near Twin Mountain saturday.

Saturday, november 10 2012, towards our first trailhead of the day we have this beautiful encounter.
We met this moose around 7:30 am Saturday morning on Route 302 near Twin Mountain.
I got out of the car, took my camera in the trunk and walked slowly towards to it.
He was not afraid because I was about 20 feet from him at some point. We watched it for 5 to 10 minutes.
And we left and it was still there.

This is why my camera has a zoom lens, so I don't have to get that close, but WOW! great pics! Paging Forestgnome!

The rut is over, Hunting season is over and the tourists are gone, Moose are back to their mellow selves just trying to get some pounds on in time for snow season,

Great shots

When I head to and from the trail, my camera is normally on the passenger seat rather than in my hiking bag in case something like this comes up. Unfortunately, I was in the same area Saturday to go hiking and didn't see him. I think I was there just after this though.

Great photos! I have seen a number of moose over the years but I don't recall the "shaved Legs" look. Is that normal and I am just forgetting?
