We have quite a few moose in the local mountains; during the winter sometimes they wander down into Salt Lake City. The bulls are usually not much trouble, but cows with calves can get extremely belligerent. It seems any more that I see more moose than deer in the woods here in northern Utah. The moose was on the shores of the small lake in the photo. We also saw woodpeckers and ducks, so it was a pleasant afternoon. There are a few other pictures from the area in my Flickr account, if you're interested.

That scenery is great. I've never seen a moose up close.
They are about the size of a Clydesdale horse. I've been closer than I like at times.
Bob if you go to my site and scroll down, I added in a photo of "beware of moose" from Newfoundland, that you'll get a kick out of.
I did some flying in Alaska - they're magnificant animals but you don't want to tangle with one in a plane or a car.
What a beautiful place and a trophy bull moose to boot. It does not get much better than that.

The view...Wow...
That looks like it was a fantastic weekend in the outdoors!
Bob, beautiful scenery. So much so that I'm inspired to take a hike in my area tomorrow to view the yellowing of the soybeans, one of the midwest's most gorgeous natural occurences. If I'm fortunate, I may get an up-close encounter with one of our morbidly obese raccoons. :)
Skiing and snow in summer?
Skiing in winter, hiking and fishing in summer. I don't ski, personally, but my wife does. I prefer hiking.
Wow! Great photos! Are moose really as tall as I've heard they are?
Incredible photos.
breda-moose are about 6 foot or more at the shoulder; I have been charged by them at close range and could not see over them.
