Bull Moose - Into the Fog

Two bull moose work their way down an abandoned logging road on a foggy mountain morning in north Idaho. The moose are starting to congregate to their winter habitat and it is not uncommon to see several in one morning. I saw these two bulls along with two cows on this particular morning.

Love the misty pre-winter atmosphere in the scene, I've said it before but your photos really translate the wild into the screen very well. Posted 10 years ago

  Thanks Ferdy! That is my main goal when I go out with my camera. I really try to maintain that wild natural look in my photos, the way that I see it through my own eyes. Posted 10 years ago

  Thanks Sara! I have to admit, given the right circumstances, the animals can be good models! ;) We will have to make some trips to Lamar Valley late winter/early spring. Posted 10 years ago
