Nice pictures mtreno, but I have a couple questions.

What is the triangular flap on the shoulder of the moose. Between the guy in the middles hands? How old is the calf?

And on the second picture -is it wearing a collar or something? Or is it just shadows? Freindly looking thing. Must have been bottle raised.

just the way the pictures turned out. no collar. buddie wayne (middle of group photo) on opening moring deer was sitting in the stand and up walks this moose. at first he was scared mom was around somewhere - after a few hours of her just standing around wayne called to her - she came right over to him. he played with her for about an hour and then thought there is no way anyone is going to believe his story - so he thought he would try and lead her back to camp. sure enough she walked accross two fields and up a ridge with wayne all the way back. we pull back into camp and wayne meets us on the road - after betting him $100 that he did not have a moose in the dog kennel we drove into camp. there she was...... turns out mom had been hit by a car a few miles away. she was just looking for someone to be nice to her. you have no idea how nice and gental she was around us. loved getting rubbed between the eyes and behind the ears.

we contacted the dnr to see if there was anything we could do for her - even got a local interested in keeping her for the winter with his cows. but the dnr man said we had to let her go. she stayed near camp for a few days and then took off. dnr said she was born this april and less then a 2% chance of making it thought the winter. i guess a moose calf stays with mom for about two years. kinda said but thats life. sure she is wolf bait by now. we named her marty the moose and will always be remembered at our deer camp!

Cool story!

I had a similar thing happen to me many years ago. I walked outside the house and saw the family dog playing with a young buck. I could hardly believe my eyes. I froze and the deer walked right up to me. The puzzled look on my face was only matched by the puzzled look on my lab's face. I petted its head a few times and it didn’t seem to bother him one bit. I spent about a hour watching it walk around the house and garage before it walked off into the woods.

Wow!!! I can hardly believe it. What an awsome story. One that will be talked about for generations to come. Thanks mtreno for sharing it with us.

And by the way after I looked at the top picture a little bit longer, I see that the triangle flap is just the light on the top of the shoulder. The little hump there.

I saw the pictures when it first came out and they were cool. I also get the same thing now that you are seeing. I don't know if it expired but hopefully he repost them.
