By the length of his beard and the grey legs, I figure he must be over 10 years old. He looks to be well over 8 feet at the top of the shoulder hump,and with his head up the height to the top of his antler must be about 12 feet .This guy is king of the forest, no bear or pack of wolves would dare come after him when he has this rack......Considering that a dirt road can fit 1 1/2 cars across ... this fellow is HUGE ...THIS IS ONE BIG BOY!
THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN IN ELLIOT LAKE (Elliot Lake is near Sault Ste. Marie
Yes it is a regular size dirt road.
Some friends of mine had taken a ride to the Upper Peninsula to view the Fall colors and came across this Moose. Can you imagine being this close to such a magnificent King of the Forest ?

That is one big Moose! What is out there in the forest and in your water?
This is my first year living up here in Winter Wonderland.
I'm learning there are some incredible creatures out in the woods all around my house.
A friend of mine just went Bear hunting last week.
He shot a bear that weighed 450 pounds after being dressed out.
In fact, tonight he will be bringing me some bear sausage he had made.
I took a walk down to the lake, where the river meet Lake Huron and walked up on two Salmon trying to make a run upstream. Each must have weighed at least 15-20 pounds. As I stood there watching them for almost one hour, a Bald Eagle was circling above also watching them.
I can only imagine this beast could walk right over most cars with ease.
As old as it appears, I hope it lives long without being hunted down.
Probably has some awesome offspring too !
