A FAMILY VISIT (Family of Moose)

(Edited)

This morning I had 3 MOOSE VISIT ME... Mom, Dad and Little baby. Looks like it was a young dad too... 2 days ago I saw a HUGE male moose not too far from here. But this guy you still are cautious and you still look for the nearest tree to run behind if his pretty chill calm demeanor changes in a flash.

Well technically the didn't quite Visit me as in knock on the door or come right into camp... but they ended up a stone's throw from my airstream. Which is dang cool not having to go hunt them down.

I heard their funny high pitched grunting before I saw them... I was photographing the mountain at sunrise. Figured there was some sort of animal and ran to get the 70-200mm lens and sure enough I saw them walking the oposing hill

And then through the aspens

And that's when they came up the hill and basically right in from of me.
We basically had a stare down for a minute or two

Oh and here's MOM.

Anyway that's my story... that's the 3rd family of Moosen in the Woodsen i've seen this week and I haven't even tried to find them... they've been finding me.

How are your moose this domestic!? Or are you some sort of moose whisperer?

Every moose I've seen recently has been incredibly chill they have let me get way too close and havent even shown small signs of agressiveness or signs of being scared.

I guess so... i know their reputation for sure. But just haven't seen them be anything but docile recently. But i mean i also don't get ridiculously close I was still about ~20-30 meters from these guys (i'm bad at distance estimation)
