I mentioned about 2 weeks ago that the grandson had seen the moose on the way to school- now remember- I am not rural 1 acre or less lots. Plenty of people. On the way to school down by the golf course I saw a moose in the wetlands. 5 minutes later the bull was at the end of my block- he probably is close to 50" spread this year- healthy and plenty cocky. probably 30 yds from the car- I sat and watched with foot on gas. He could care less about me- 2 dogs were barking behind a cyclone fence and he was irritated by the noise. he moved across the street- kinda slippery for him on the dry asphalt. as soon as he cleared the asphalt he charged the dogs but one antler caught on the stop sign which slowed him down- almost took the sign out. He grunted at the dogs and finally wandered down the middle of the street with people backing up to avoid him. I think he is in the rut and showing his stuff- he would gladly take on any car- at least that is the way it appeared. Finally tired of walking down the street and went into a yard to chomp on some very nice Japanese maple- you know the big dollar ones- he is a moose with expensive culinary tastes. We will start taking the camera in the mornings. I would have loved to have a picture of him and the sign. Moose updates will be in this thread. He is back 2 months earlier - probably not good news......
