Moose in Western Washington?????

[Wazukie]

These pictures were taken just outside Diablo, that river in the second pic is the Skagit.

I've heard "rumors" for years now but this is the first time I've seen pics of em. Always thought that it was decent enough habitat for them to survive, and maybe even thrive. Nice pics!!!

Looking forward to more moose.

[Ridgerunner]

pretty good evidence, wonder what F&G says about those.

We had a bunch of guys from work working in Diablo late last week/weekend and they said they saw a bull moose in diablo and it crossed the river...

They are migrating away from the wolves

I have personally seen Whitetail east of Baker/west of Diablo/Ross lakes in the 80's. There was that cow and calf here in Bellingham/Ferndale for a while. There have been sightings of Moose at the north end/east of Baker lake for many years. Transients.  I have seen Mule deer west of the Pacific Crest trail/east of Ross lake on/near highway 20 this year. Much of that area of the northern interior be it park or national forest is quite untamed. It would not surprise me to see moose or even a Griz or two in that quadrant. Last year there was a cow elk north of the north fork Nooksack up by the equipment shed on Mount Baker highway. Critters wander. They get chased, they follow the food.

Thats cool! My brother and I did a bear hunt in the diablo unit 3 years ago. We had 3 bulls 50 yards from our tent. I couldn't believe my eyes.
