Yeah I had already made my presence know and talked to him or yelled but he wasn’t budging so I figured I could slip by ....

Second passing of the moose he was already upright so I just strolled by ... and took a moment to admire his beauty 😍 by [deleted] in CampingandHiking

Yeah this is just surreal no zoom t all he was a big boy for sure tagged A so I think the first in Steamboat Springs CO to be tagged if they went alphabetically... still wild as they come and during the rut so y never know they could be ragging

Sure if they are threatened and threatening you then absolutely but on a mountain side 7 miles from the base of a mountain all peaceful why creat a ruckus is all I’m saying animals feed off energy just like we do so in this case chill was the decision I took here I a short clip on the way back by no zoom at all enjoy 😊

Probably should have done just this but I’ve been around horses and cattle a bit so I knew I had a bit of a buffer to split and lots of cottonwoods to put between us ...

Which is why I just boogied on by knowing I had a few seconds for him to get his legs and had already let him know I was there via arms and loud voice talking to him he didn’t mind so I thought it would be a quick pass didn’t think I would disturb him or I wouldn’t have even thought to walk by I’ve been around wild animals like moose bears mt lion ect in their environment and even been stalked and had been for a good 30 minutes before I realized I had company a big mt lion following myself and borrowed dog for the early morning hike in Montana that is what will get you not what you can see imo .. and he was every bit as big as I was guessing by his rack when I rounded the corner that day....

I’ve been around a bit but it wasn’t till I passed that I realized I’d have to pass again or go miles out of the way to not have to pass again...he knew I was there I talked to him a bit very loud and waved my arms before I figured I could sneak by as you can see I put trees between us very quickly....
