The day had been socked in from dawn with low lying clouds and a steady down pour. There was not a peep of blue sky and with no sun, I had no solar, so I put a half gallon of gas into the generator and fired it up to do some work. When the generator ran out of fuel, I headed out with a bit of cabin fever spurring me on, and soon spotted a bull moose, along with a mother cow and her calf. No matter how many times I see moose, I fall in love with them all over again.
It was low light and raining when I captured the images below. The bull moose had just bedded down in some tall, golden willows when I approached. The mom was very cautious and took leave first. The bull reluctantly got up to slowly follow with the baby moose between them. By the sounds and slow movements of the bull, I think he was in rut.
