The old man of the forest

It’s Moose Monday! I don’t know how old this big guy was but he was definitely the senior of the bulls last month. His battle scarred face, sheer physical size and massive antlers certainly would seem to tell the story of a life fighting other bulls and many harsh seasons at high altitude.

Moose on average live between 15 and 20 years. I certainly hope that next year I have the privilege of photographing this majestic animal again. Taken in the Indian Peaks Wilderness area of Colorado.
