While hiking in the Wild Basin Area of Rocky Mountain National Park, I came across this huge Bull Moose. He allowed me to hang out with him for an hour and a half, taking photographs and watching him eat. When I took this photo, he had realized that something was nearby. Within a second, he looked directly at me and let out a massive snort to warn me that he knew that I was there. More pictures and the story of my encounter with him are available at SheaOliver.com.
