Title: Weird encounter with a ID moose
Post by: huntnnw on October 30, 2013, 06:54:23 AM: My dad and myself were up chasing elk in N ID last weekend.We made it up to a small pond and as we were standing there chatting I notice just beyond my dad a large brown object move 10 yards away! at first it startled us as what is that!! The moose just layed there for 30 min. We thougth it was injured as I got to 15 feet away and it continued to lay there and chew its cud. Another hunter came up,so I walked over and showed him he was in awe how close it was..then it just stood up and walked off as everything was fine :chuckle: must of been tired ..wish I had my Canon with me!!

More phone pics .. not great quality.
