Old, grizzled veteran smiles for his portrait

It is Moose Monday and today’s capture comes from Roosevelt National Forest. It was a very chilly morning at 10,300 feet (26 degrees!) as the sun came up and the big guys were proving tough to find initially. I did finally have some luck coming across this old, tough one and a very young one that was following him around.

Here the big guy seems to have picked up a scent, perhaps of a nearby female. He clearly is one of the senior members of the bulls that hang out in the area, something you can easily tell from his size and seemingly aging face.
