I found this young bull on a backcountry hike as he was bedded down. Hours later, he hadn't moved an inch.
It took a bigger bull to walk into the area for him to get up. He took a sip from the creek and walked over to greet the other bull. "Greet" may be too nice of a description: the two bulls sparred violently for a few seconds and this guy lost...

Winter Awaits

The rut is pretty much finished in the Rockies. Now the long and cold winter awaits. Fortunately there are few animals as well adapted to the cold as moose! In Alaska where temperatures regularly dip down to -20 F, moose have no trouble surviving.

Annoyed Bull Moose

When you find a bull this time of the year, when the mating season is winding down, most of the time the bull is pretty tolerant. His hormone levels are returning to a normal level and he's not in a competitive mode any longer...
But, if 'your' bull decides to tear up a bush right in front of you, that's typically a sign that he's getting annoyed...

The leaves are going fast in the Rockies as fall approaches. Soon, the mating season will finish and the moose will quiet down, for a well-deserved rest.

Mister Moose

Mister Moose, as he stared into the camera. The moose rut is in full swing throughout the Rockies, from Colorado into Alaska.
When you find yourself in the presence of a moose, always keep a big object nearby to hide behind. A tree will work. Even though moose look docile, I trust them much less than grizzly bears as moose can do the unexpected wi...

Big Bull

Hiking along a river, I found a smallish bull moose during mating season.
As I waited for him to do something interesting, he took off and walked into an open sagebrush flat.
Lo and behold, here comes a different - much bigger - bull.
They sparred and the small bull took off running!
Here is the victor of the fight.

It doesn't get much better than to see a bugling elk crossing the Snake river among fall colors.
This bull elk was hot on the trail of females during mating season.
