Bull Moose In Full Rut

 

Great time of year to hike. The fall colors and crisp mornings are about as good as it gets! This morning I ventured out to do some bear den clean up work and set out one trail camera. It will be interesting to see how many bears check the site out and hopefully a bear makes it home for the winter.

Finally hit pay dirt with moose and a new area I’m camera trapping. Over the last several weeks three different bulls and one cow triggered trail cameras at this location. The bull in the video grunts while passing the trail camera. I’m sort of kicking myself for not putting the camera lower on the tree. This area is typically wet being the back side of a swamp. The lack of rain presented the opportunity with several open areas which made ideal spots to setup trail cameras. The moose video is the same Bull Moose now in rut. You can hear him grunt in hopes of locating a cow. The second video is of a much larger bull and most likely the dominant moose in the same area.
