Our Moose Friends

I accompanied Adam this morning to the property on which the cabin will go. He has been using a chain saw to clear many trees for a road and cabin placement. To our surprise as we arrived on the property and looked to our left after passing by some thick trees was a moose about 10 yards away from us! We thought for sure that when Adam began to use the chainsaw, the moose would be frightened and run away. Not at all, the moose could have cared less for the loud noise and trees falling. After about 5 minutes of chain sawing, the moose made its way into the trees about 10 yards from where it had been standing to lay down and take a nap. As we continued sawing, we noticed another moose lying about 20 feet from the first moose. And as you will see in the video there is a third moose that had also been taking a nap not to far from where we were. The moose continued to hang out on the property the entire day and evening. Adam said he threw a few sticks at one moose to try and get it to move because it was in the way of where he needed to saw.

This first picture is the first moose we encountered .

We discovered this moose about an hour after we arrived.

They are soooo tall! They are at least 6' at the withers, probably more like 6'6"!

Keeping a close eye on us!

They were enjoying eating the buds off the freshly fallen trees.

Adam working hard.

Enjoy the video, I hope it works.
