Bull moose in SE WA still has antlers

[Rufous]

I was out hunting mountain lions yesterday with Grams and we spotted this young bull moose right next to the road up in the Blue Mountains east of Walla Walla, WA. I have now seen a total of 5 mooose in this area over the past several years. I saw one last fall while out elk hunting, the other 3 were several years ago. We covered a lot of ground on foot and driving the roads but only saw one good lion track and that was at the end of the day and it was headed up a steep hill where the snow had melted off. Might try that area again tomorrow.

  very cool to run into them! especially when your not expecting it. Nice photo thanks and good luck on the lion if you make it out again
