I was sound asleep this morning around 6:30 when my husband came in and woke me up to informed me that we had three bull moose out the back door. I weighed the odds……moose, sleep, moose, sleep, for……….lets say 1/2 a second before scrambling out of bed to get my camera. Was it worth it – YES! Look at the photos and footage I took. I totally braved it and stood right out on the porch (with the door open, of course). I called my friends husband, also a lover of photography and he came down to get some photos. He was much braver than I was though……he went down the steps and off to the side to get photos (no protection). CrAzY!
In this photo, this big guy was standing 24 feet (8 yards) from where I was standing on the porch and he was looking right at me. Wowzers!
While we had moose in front of us, we had some small deer bucks to the right of us watching what was going on. There were more but I was only able to get one in the picture (blurry…sorry) and video.
Although not visible, there were actually three moose on the yard. One was eating off the apple tree on the other side of the fence. Somewhere after 7:30 am, one moose moved out to the corrals and then joined the others that had moved out to the hay field. When we drove out to the hay field, we could see a cow moose in the mix.
This next video is a little jumpy in spots because I was trying to get out from behind the open truck door and keep filming.
