So, this just happened!

Today, August 19th, I was out on my deck and heard what I thought was a bull grunt down below a small ridge my house overlooks.  Just for the heck of it I cow called and he immediately returned with a series of grunts.  A few minutes later the cow came up with the bull hot on her tail, grunting like crazy.  Moments after the last pic was taken he bred her!  August 19!?  Huh?  I’m no moose expert but this seams awfully early?

Think I would clean out that fire pit and put some apples and maybe a salt block in there.

Don’t give me any ideas!  Lots of moose this year, far more than previous years.  This, tho being a complete surprise!

No worries.  Spokane.

That is very cool. Would like to see that off my porch.

Leave the fire pit alone. Nothing like a nice fire for a little romance and some animal love!

Moose just want to have fun!!

And I thought it was cool having a little covey of chukars on my back deck...you just blew that all to hell!!  Pretty awesome!!

And then they got married and had moose babies.  That’s how it happens, kids.

Awesome pics and thanks for sharing....



But, I can't look at those pics and give you a little nudge about defensible space.

Just a little trivia, Moose love charcoal. They will often eat and lick charcoal from a fresh firepit. I'm sure it has something to do with minerals but exactly what I don't know.
