MOOSE IN CANADA ---- WOW 'YES, THIS IS SOMETHING BIG FROM CANADA' By the length of his beard and the gray legs, I figure he must be over 10 years old. He looks to be well over 8 feet at the top of the shoulder hump, and with his head up the height to the top of his antler must be about 12 feet .This guy is king of the forest, no bear or pack of wolves would dare come after him when he has this rack......Considering that a dirt road can fit 1 1/2 cars across ... this fellow is HUGE ...THIS IS ONE BIG BOY! THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN IN ELLIOT LAKE Yes it is a regular size dirt road.

Aha... I have known of many a car and pickup to be ruined by sudden encounters, and this shows why! Driving a mini-pickup or a small car, I have always hoped that if I have an unavoidable encounter that I be alone, so that I have room to lay down sideways at the last second and let it take off the windshield and the top of the car. The trick I developed was to turn off the headlights while slowing down as much as possible in the time available. With headlights on they tend to turn and run along the lighted road, staying in front of you. With no headlights they veer off into the brush. Yup, that is a big one! Kai PS Here is one of our city moose - the bus behind it reads "Anchorage - Big Wild Life"

is it always when you se at the moss or dear that you would like to shoot it? These animals give so much beauty to their natural surroundings!
