Last night right at dusks the family was sitting aroud talking when suddenly my 4 year out daughter went to the windo and said very causually, "There's a moose out there."

Now when my four year old says there is something outside you can not take it at face value as I know the elephants and hippos to not frequent the area I live in Utah and she is known to have spotted them all.

I quick confirmation from my son and there was indeed a large bull moose hanging out feeding.  

The light was fadding and too dark to get pictures so we watched him feed off.

This morning as I was sleeping I heard the sound of a breaking twig and sat upright in bed just in time to see out visitor bedding down outside the window.

I apologize for the picture quality.

Very shotly my son came to my room and we went upstairs.




He got out the range finder and marked him at 17 yards.  This according to  him is well within his range.  ;0

As I am posting this we are watching him just sit there and chew his cud.

If he stands up I will try to get some more pics.

Now that really is awesome!  Nice bull too!

That seems to be a nice bull too, bet the kids were really excited, makes for a fine morning thanks for sharing        

That's just cooool....  

some wake up call!... i wouldn't mind that kind of alarm clock one bit..  

As we were sitting there my daughter woke up and came upstairs.

that pic with the kids is great!

What great Sunday pic!!!!!!!

Even if the moose wasn't there, I'd still like to wake up and look at the view outside the window! Awesome!!!

So after a little while he felt the urge to get up.


Then ha ve a bite to eat.


Then walk over and start scratching an itch.

Scratch some more.

That is something to wake up too....
Last week while Hunting Blacktail We where within 40 yds of a Mountain Lion....

Then watch the people.



Then try to smell the people.


Then while his head is up scratch on the tree.

Perspective from the house.
