Interesting sighting last night...
« on: October 01, 2008, 10:28:04 AM »
I was driving along last night right about sunset and guess what I saw standing out there in the middle of a field...?  A moose!!  I knew they were around here (Palouse) but I wouldn'ta picked a wheat field that was just harvested to look for one.  :chuckle:

Yeah, it was pretty neat with the sunset in the background.  I was kicking myself for not having a camera in the car!

We see them pretty frequently out in the wheat on the Palouse.  Here are a couple pictures.

I have seen them as far out as Washtucna.  We have pictures of one on my friend's ranch out there. 

There is also a nice little population starting up around Stehekin at the end of Chelan.

Moose are frequent along Mt. Baker highway out of Bellingham.  I know when I was living up there a bull and a cow were featured in the paper crossing I-5 at the Peach Arch border crossing.  Nice bull too.  I met a landowner that had a cow and calf every spring using her field.  And that was around 1987!  I can only imagine how the numbers have increased over the last 20 years up there.
