Oh my gosh-how cool you get to see that!!!

What kind of camera do you have? We could probably find some online tips for taking distance night shots?

Have you seen this movie(you reminded me) Twin baby moose playing in a sprinkler-so cute!!!

Hogeeze…they come right up to our house all the time. 0_o They scare me witless, there isn’t a day goes by someone hasn’t hit one on the road and that is always so incredibly sad.

I took these a few years ago. I’m sure it was lighter outside when I took these than what you’re experiencing, but still I get dark shots on my camera even on a good day during the winter months, so….I just used an old Sony for these. It was a castoff from my dad.

Our dogs would be at the ends of their tethers barking at them and they’d just look at them like, “Yah? So what?”

I’m sure you are aware how easily they can spook and start stomping. Even on my porch I don’t feel particularly safe.
The moose of course have no such fears and get as close to it as they can, or to the doghouses as well. Yikes! They’re attracted by the hay we use to keep the dogs warm in winter. Technically though, that’s “feeding” the wild life. In Alaska = jail time and a fine.

Be safe! They’re so unpredictable. 0_o

LOL

I have a moose story-no wait actually two!

First was riding in the mountains in Jasper (horse back riding) and all of a sudden all the horses stop, we can’t get them to move forward-then this bucking crazy moose comes running along being chased by park wardens with flags and weird noise things -we were so lucky those horses ‘had been there done that’ they really could have dumped us all and taken off running-thankfull it was just a funny experience

And then I was sitting out by the fire at my ex’s cabin (he wasn’t ex then though, that’d be creepy lol) and I see movement out of the corner of my eye and shriek because it’s dark out (sunset) and I”m scared of the dark and figured it was a monster -it was a moose and we walked so close to me he brushed up against my chair, hopped in the lake and swam across it. Once I stopped panicking it was pretty cool to watch him go all the way across the lake!

Beautiful pics. I love moose (mooses? ). They are so beautiful. I get upset in the fall because moose hunting is big here and I often see them dead on the back of trucks

I always drive really slow in the country during dawn/dusk hours because hitting a moose is so devastating. A guy in my bf’s college class is paralyzed from the waist down from hitting a moose calf. It went right through the windshield and landed on him. I hate to imagine what would happen if I hit one in my tiny car!

Oh that’s so true! It doesn’t need to be a big moose, and if you’re in a small car, well, you basically had best be on good terms with your Maker if Bullwinkle rambles across the road. >.<

The last time I took the bunnies into the vet, we were coming home late on the one road to town here and it was powerful dark out. No moon to reflect off the snow either. Just as we passed this one particular spot I caught movement out of the corner of my eye. I look back over my shoulder and there is this ENORMOUS moose just spooking and turning AWAY from the road and back into the underbrush…he/she was seconds from leaping out into the road and luckily our car noise turned it off the road instead of onto it. We would’ve all easily been killed in an impact at that speed (about 65 MPH).

That’s one thing that really worries me about transporting the buns to and from town. God forbid we wreck because I just don’t know what would happen to them. I mean, at least we can use the cell phone to get help but…what happens if my poor bunnies are freed from their carriers and lost in the wilderness? (if they even survive the crash?) Stuff of nightmares, let me tell you. 0_o;

Anyway, I know what you mean LPT, it’s really sad when something like that happens. We hear stories like that all the time. We lost a whole family out here one year to a moose through the windshield. It was terrible.

My best view of a moose was RIGHT next to my bedroom window real late one night when we first moved here. I could hear the dog going nuts outside so I open my curtain and YOW! There’s the shoulders and back of a cow moose RIGHT there, I mean it filled the whole window and I was terrified it was going to look in the direction of the light source and put it’s head through the glass. Jeez, there’s something that’ll make your heart skip a few beats, crash and burn! Aaaahhhh!!!! >_<

Hehehe…love the pic Petzy. Yup, those eyes will keep you up at night! ^_^ And don’t worry, we are an equal opportunity blogger here in the Lounge, all sorts of topics get brought up.
(reaches out to give nose pets to the boss bunny rex)

My impression was they were trying to chase it out of the populated area-it was a young buck (right word? male?) and was aggressive. They were just trying to get him back into the forest

AND speaking of moosies…

This is a baby moose right?
