What a Moose!

This picture was taken at Elliott Lake, near Sault Ste. Marie, Canada .

By the length of his beard and the grey legs, he must be over 10 years old. He looks to be well over 8 feet at the top of the shoulder hump, and with his head up the height to the top of his antler must be about 12 feet.

This guy is king of the forest, no bear or pack of wolves would dare
come after him when he has this rack......Considering that a dirt road can fit 1 1/2 cars across ... this fellow is HUGE ...THIS IS ONE BIG BOY!

Yes, it is a regular size dirt road.
