This guy wasn’t too concerned about me but he didn’t care too much for another, nearby bull. As that other bull ascended the hill, this guy was keen on keeping an eye on his potential competitor.

Taken soon after sunrise a few weeks ago, not only do you get a good look at the handsome fellow, you can again see the damage caused by the East Troublesome Fire last October.

What was once a stand of pine is bare above ground level. Beneath though, the fireweed is taking advantage of the sunlight and the moose really seem to enjoy eating it as an alternative to their preferred willows.
