How would you like to have a crack at this one    I was out deer hunting and this walked across the trail in front of me not far from McAdam, N.B. by the Canterbury Woods shortcut (reported by a local area hunter). This area is about 45 minutes from me. Sorry that I had to post links. I still can't make the Photobucket copy function work  Is anyone else having the same problem  Thanks to BT for fixing the photo links for me  |

It is bigger than average but they do grow to well over 1000 lbs here  I've never been up close and personal with one this size but I did have a large bull walk very close to me when I was deer hunting some years ago  He was so close that I could hear him chewing as he browsed on some low brush Needless to say, I had the rifle at the ready because these guys are really unpredictable Fortunately for him and for me, he just continued merrily on his way. |

wow ... that is one huge bodied moose. I assume the two-track is 8' wide good pics ... does your camera have the image stability to cover up shaking
