A gentle faced giant for Moose Monday

The youngest of the bulls at the area I visit to see these magnificent creatures, he was hanging out with the most senior of the group recently. Unlike the elder, this young guy had a softness to his face and certainly those little antlers show he is junior to the others.

Nevertheless, he was massive, taller to the top of his head than me and I am 6 foot 1 inch tall. It is hard to believe that the sub-species of moose here in Colorado, the Shiras, are actually the smallest in the moose family!
