Wildlife Filmographer. Not.

This cow moose was waiting patiently north of the driveway for me to walk with her. (A girl can dream.)
Now I know: when the dog is barking, it's not at moose or deer. It's likely at coyotes.
Both dogs went running to see what this was, but neither of them made a sound. I guess they figured out it wasn't the livestock they're accustomed to.
You will hate me because the camera gets all shook up, but I walked forward to see if I could get a better video. I promise next time I'll stand still:



The two of them made a wide half-mile arc through the field to go around me, and I turned and walked south, my usual route this fall. Someone was in the field on a quad, taking up electric fence, so the moose turned back toward the road and crossed it ahead of me.



They're not as close as they look. I zoomed in with the camera.

  2. I'm happy to see I'm not the only crazy dame out there trying to get moose video! Mine usually end with a moose turning his head towards me and me squealing and dropping the camera. I should find that video and upload it. It's ridiculous.

  3. If it took one step toward me I'd vamoose. It's always the other way around though ... so far.
