The daughter didn't look 2 yrs old to me. hopefully she doesn't come back to work for the WDFW.   or maybe her animal expert career is molting and we won't have to worry about her.

I think she does her budding with a bong.  They actually went 0 for 2 on wildlife ID, his "chipmunk" is a Cascade golden-mantled ground squirrel.  Not as funny as the molting mooses ...

Were back in my home State of Washington.  Now normally I've been hunting Roosevelt elk in Graham, east of Interstate 5, but today I got to hunt a molting moose with my very good friend Brian who grew up in very similar country that I did.  In front of me is a molting moose, this moose molts just like a Canada goose.  That's a molting moose guys, that's not a Roosevelt Elk, that's not a Rocky Mountain elk, that's not a red stag, that's not a Tule that is a molting moose.

Moose is singular, when you go plural they are mice. So now we have molting mice.

SADLY THOSE PEOPLE GET TO VOTE ON OUR WILDLIFE INITIATIVES, AND DONT EVEN HAVE A CLUE ON MANAGEMENT

[Expedition Scout]

Youre both wrong.  Its meeses

I looked up meeses trying to determine what type of habitat they exist in and couldn't find a thing... they must be a new species in need of protection! We should set up critical neighborhood habitat for this rare species to include wood fences and mowed lawns!

I told my wife this the other day. She almost believed me.

These are what's known as "Packwood Garden Gnomes."  Also known as "Elk."

They can be found in almost any yard in Packwood during the winter months, and by the hundreds (and sometimes thousands) along various parts of route 12 during the same times.  I'm not sure about the summer months.
