Its been on here before..I'm looking at the shadows on the ground, first pic there's less light on the ground (more shadow) when he's still partialy in the tree's, then the second pic there's more light on the ground where in the first pic was all shadow. Big old moose thats for sure.

It's probably just on a quad trail, but who know's.

Looks like small trees and an atv trail.

senn this a few times, IIRC it is a real photo but the "road" is a atv or golf cart trail as somebody already mentioned. reminds me of the white moose calves on the side of the hwy, I got that 1 in an e-mail that read "bet you never seen this before or will ever see it again your lifetime!" my sister got mad 'cause she sent it to me and my reply was "I bet I do see it again next year when someone digs it out and resends it with a different caption about where they were spotted!"

And he's Photoshopped to at least 1.5x his real size.  No shadows from the moose.  Edges are fuzzy if you zoom.  This is a bad cut and paste job.

Another thing to think about is how close was he when he took this photo .If we was close and then zoomed in then it would be bigger than it really is but non the less it is a huge Bull Moose  :yeah:

yes there is shadow of its front right leg in the bottom pic.  the sun is either setting or rising.  therefore the shadows would be elongated and would be casted into the trees.  if it was taken with a cell phone, it would be blurry.  not photoshopped in my opinion.  if its a quad trail, it would be correct in size.  well other than that IS a big moosey moose.
it was mentioned previously about the light difference in each pic.  that doesn't matter.  exposure can change from one pic to the next.

Anyone who believes it was photoshopped just doesn't know how large the moose can get up there. Here's another picture taken at the same time. ;)
