I also saw quite a few moose on this recent trip to Alaska. It was the beginning of the rut, so bulls were plentiful and in search of willing cows. This bull was one of three that were after a single cow in Chugach State Park just outside of Anchorage. It actually got a bit scary as I didn’t know where the bulls were hiding in the bushes and when they would suddenly appear. They can be quite aggressive if anything or anyone gets between them and what they’re after. Amazing how such a large animal can seem to vanish in an instant and then emerge again.
