Montana Moose



We were thrilled to see our first moose of the season.  We were driving on the highway when a large black object ran across the road.  This is exciting for people who grew up in the Midwest, lived in northern Wisconsin and now in Florida.  I can count on one hand how many of these majestic and dangerous animals we have seen.

We were guessing that a baby was nearby, but did not see it.  Be sure to click on the photo to get a closer view.

  3. I have never seen a moose, not even in a zoo! Guess though I am lucky to have seen all the African animals in the wild. Take care Diane

  4. Great info for me as I did not realize there were moose in Montana, but I have discovered in the last few days that there are definitely bison roaming around in South Dakota.

  7. Nine days in Montana, we spent, and lost count of how many bison and crows that we say. Moose? Nowhere to be found. Bummer. Lucky for you!

  8. Nice shot. When I lived in Alaska, I learned quickly that moose have a volatile temper, so I'm glad you kept your distance. Sounds like your summer was a nice one. Safe travels back to Florida.

  11. Sounds like you had a wonderful time in one of the most beautiful places in the country! My husband spotted his first moose in Alaska and I think my first sighting was in Wyoming-these are things you just don't forget!
