Thank you, Erik! A fun and unexpected experience...I needed to take my new camera and lens out for a test drive. In the event you have this opportunity...moose can be extremely dangerous and unpredictable...especially when they have young ones.

Great shot. I had one come up to my plane when I was in Alaska. it was a tall smelly lady that wanted to see what was in the plane. ITs hard to tell but she look short but if you were next to her she would surprise most people... Thanks for sharing Ron...

Fabulous Photo, the Moose looks perfectly captured, love the photo of you and also...your fabulous lens. Is it a cannon 100 to 500? What a Great Lens, and i see you may also have the canon R6 or R5? Just curious. The iphone is a good instant camera too! Well done!
