Bull Moose!

An amazing encounter
I was hoping to shoot a bull moose since I didn't see one in June. Much to my surprise, Jay and I came across two!
Each took a turn for a dip in the pond.The bull moose on the left is slightly bigger. The moose on the right approached him, lowered his rack as if to attack, thought about it again, and chose to move on. The larger moose just held his ground. The rutting season begins in the fall. During the rut, bull moose fight with each other for dominance and the right to mate with the females in the area.
