with @wanderingwesterlund as this moose makes a second visit to our site that morning. Pretty tame but would not recommend anyone trying this on their visit to Algonquin Park or anywhere with any wild animal.
The moose seems in good shape body wise to me. I have seen a few with deformed antlers. Its August so the antlers are nearly done growing. It probably hit it against a tree when it was just starting and softer...and just bent it a bit. Seems a tad curious, I'm amazed it wasn't spooked by the smoke. It must like camping!...And Coffee! "Cool Video! 😊👍
Almost had this at Manitou Lake in August this year by the portage head from Amable Du Fond. Woken up at 3am to what sounded like a Boeing 747 jet trampling through the bush 10 feet from my tent as I pissed myself then hearing it trample into the water like a canoe getting beached on shore. In the morning I saw all the tracks on the beach and broken branches where it effortlessly pushed through the brush. Just a big boy coming to check out the humans in its hood! 😂
What the heck Marty moose maple.. wonder if it was released and had comfort with Thanks for sharing gkad no one got hurt, except your coffee.. which must have hurt!
Lots of sightings by our cottage just south of Algonquin. I have had a cow run across the road 10' ahead of me luckily i was going exceptionally slow. Saw another stopped on hwy 118 just checking out traffic. Another young bull peaked out of the woods on hwy 118 and then disappeared back into the woods. Two young calfs were on the road leading to our cottage about 50' ahead of me. I stopped and reached for my camera but they saw me and went back into the woods . I was so disappointed. This spring though there were lots of tracks by our cottage with young ones too. That freaked me out for a while. This is over a span of 3 years. We're getting cameras installed as there is a lot of activity here 🦌🐻🐺🦊🦃🐿
we had a similar experience at provoking lake with a cow and calf. talk about animals that dont give a fuck. another instance my daughter and i were leaving kingscote lake and followed this mature calf for a few hundred meters and ya its entire ass end was just covered in what i assume were ticks. sorry that happened to your coffee
It seemed hungry and looking for food, perhaps it's gotten scraps from campsites in the past. It's ribs seemed to be fairly visible but not sure if more so than normal.
