John Z. Goriup Posted July 29, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 29, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) One morning during a recent flyfishing trip to Idaho, I heard some snorting & grunting in the bushes along the bank of the river and of course immediately thought 'Oh no, a grizzly"............ thank God, it turned out to be merely a grumpy Bull moose, who was as surprised & startled as I was. In any event, I thought it wiser to just put some distance between us and waded to the other side and out of the creek and watched him graze his way into the distance. Ancient D-Lux-3 ( I never sell any Leica equipment ) which I keep in my fishing vest for settling arguments over who caught the largest fish and various other occasions - like this.

stuny Posted July 30, 2016 Share #3 Posted July 30, 2016 Excellent. It's a good thing he didn't perceive you as an annoyance - They are exceptionally grumpy animals, and you don't want to be charged by a ton of angry pot roast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northwest Wanderer Posted July 30, 2016 Share #5 Posted July 30, 2016 Nice framing on this image. Stuart is right about giving the moose room. It's wise to respect these animals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
