Bull Moose

[Ric Grupe]

My wife and I took an old logging road back into the woods about 2 miles looking for moose. While it was a enjoyable 5 mph ride...no moose.:cry

We had just returned to the MAIN hi-way when we spotted this guy! :clap

The 300 shots we got of this guy made the whole trip worthwhile. This was in New Hampshire near the Maine and Canadian border.

Well, aren't they all??? Nice shot. They must be like deer. Look for them in the logical places and they don't show. Go back to the car and they're everywhere...LOL. Great catch!

...looking back towards the main road.

Wow, incredible Moose pic! Beautiful horns. I've never seen one that close in the wild. :thumb

Talk about an exposure nightmare! Low light...overcast...dark subject. Glad he hung around long enough for me to change settings and lens. I was so glad I took off the 1.4 TC for the 300. This was 1/160 at f7.1 handheld.

Woo-hooo! Yeah, buddy! Most excellent!

We don't have anything that big around here. We have to settle for wimpy little ELK!

Great shots ric, always love to see moose. I have never seen o ne in real life. None here in Colorado that I know about. I think we have a Moose conservatory up North somewhere. Anyway how exciting and excellent job with the lighting conditions considered.
