This mighty fellow was standing about 10 yards from me when he stopped to look at me. I heard him coming up the trail and caught the first glimpse of him when his head poked through some brush. After a 5 or 10 minute stare-off, he started heading up the field I was sitting next to in the tree stand. When I noticed him I had to stay low in the stand so he didnt see me (My buddy's treestand = Scaffolding wrapped in camo burlap hehehehe). I started grunting at him to try and call him back closer, he didnt seem too interested in that though so I snapped off these shots as he was grazing in the field he is standing in for about an hour. Wish I could have got a pic of him when he was right in front of me but these were taken with my scuba-dive camera and I didnt have the flash turned off nor could I get the camera ready in time when he was coming up the trail... This guy was 1 of 2 Moose I saw during the hunt last week. I think its about time to start putting in for that once in a lifetime Moose tag eh?

Yeah, this one really made me consider putting in for the draw on Moose. I wish so bad that I had a tag in my pocket for this guy but just to watch him for the hour I did was just amazing in itself.
