Echo Trail moose

[Steve Foss]

Well, of course the sun hadn't yet hit the road when I saw this moose along the Echo Trail about 7:30 this morning, just where the pavement starts to give way to gravel. I had to lean out and shoot this out the window before he galloped off into the woods.

Any moose is a good moose in my opinion! You've gotta like any moose shot you can get because it's a moose (and how often do you see them - really!). Good shot!

He looks like he is looking for the end of the trail. Nice shot.

Thanks, both of you. Michael, you are exactly right. Dan, if it has to be a pic of a moose on a road, I do like the way the road curves away and out of the frame in the way the moose is pointing.

This is one of the moosiest looking spots close in on the Echo, with a wetland stretching for short distances on both sides of the road right at this spot, and I've never gone by it in four and a half years without slowing down and hoping to see Bullwinkle. This morning was the first time.

Man, it's been so long since I've seen one, I didn't know if any were still around! Nice shot!

I thought Bullwinkle had a rack. Your moose photo sure turned out better than mine I got a few weeks ago.

nice moose photo Steve!...I have yet to get one ...maybe this upcoming weekend...going to the tettegouche for some late fall foliage pics.... we stumbled on that timber wolf near Skibo the last trip to the tettegouche...maybe we'll be fortunate enough to see that bull or cow this time

Nice Moose ST! You are making me go crazy with these pics along the Echo. I haven't made it up to our property since the 4th. Though I did get a trip into Basswood in August. I sure miss cruising anlog the trail. Anyhow thanks for making my day in the cubicle a little nicer.
