One bull moose carefully treads across the path of another just weeks before last fall’s rut.

A bit of a Throwback Thursday to the end of last August when I was able to spend a great morning watching these amazing animals. The bulls were losing the velvet off of their antlers which made them a bloody mess and gave them a menacing appearance (as if their ?1,000 pound weight and 6+ foot height weren’t enough). The tension between them was quite palatable as mating season was fast approaching.
