These photos were taken last summer but they are worth showing this summer as well.

These bulls were laying next to Brainard Lake 20 miles south of Estes Park, CO next to the Arapahoe Peaks area.
While being on National Forest Land, this area does allow limited hunting of moose. I believe one of these four bulls was killed by a hunter with a bow and arrow under the direction of a forest ranger who was there to show the hunt was allowed by the rules of this area. The moose was shot while park visitors watched and it caused quite a stir and much dissent. Other moose were in the immediate area and ran away in terror. While this area could be full of moose and some harvesting of bulls would prevent a slow starvation, it was hard to see one of these grand male moose taken from our sight.

These are absolutely wonderful shots, Cliff! The third one should be in a frame on your wall! I have many shots of moose in Canada, but they're all with a film camera many years ago, and I can't scan them 'cause my albums are all boxed up as we're getting ready to move! Someday I'll share them! Yours are really excellent!

We're only moving about 20 miles north of here. It's getting too expensive here and this will be more reasonable and more fun we're thinking. Al's relatives all live up there.

This mother had crossed heavy tourist traffic in Rocky Mountain National Park and was waiting for her yearling to cross as well.
