My Grandson's first moose

My family and I went snowmobiling in Colebrook/Pittsburg this last weekend.  Last ride of the season for the most part.  We went out late Saturday, so decided to get up early, and head out Sunday to be the first on the trails.  We got to less than a mile from a friend's camp where my husband and I saw the large bull moose a couple of weeks ago.  My grandson was riding with my husband.  They came around the corner, and there was a young moose just sitting in the trail sunnying herself.  After a few minutes she slowly got up, shook herself off, and then posed for several minutes.  For Cameron's first moose, she was perfect.  I have posted pictures on both my facebook page, and here.  Check it out.  He even waved bye-bye to moosey.

They're amazing to see aren't they.  I remember years ago when we came home and there was one just standing in our driveway.  My kids still remember it.

I saw the pics on FB!  How cute is the one of him waving?!  I bet it's amazing to see in person.

They are such amazing animals.  My favorite by far!!!  How something that huge and all legs can move so gracefully I will never know!!  I have seen hundreds, and am amazed each time I see another. 

I must admit that I'm a little jealous -- I'm 52 years old, and I've never seen a moose (except for a small one on the side of the road licking the salt -- it was so small that my mom said it was a big dog, but I know in my heart of hearts that it was a moose!).  I've even spent the better part of a week at Yellowstone.  (I did see plenty of buffalo there, though.)  Twice, a moose walked right down the middle of my street, in the middle of Manchester, but I wasn't home to see it.  I spend my summers on a lake, and went to Pittsburg for a weekend once.  Still no moose, and I've always wanted to see one!

So, we will just have to take you on a trip to Pittsburg in June or July, go up moose alley until we see one!!  Last June we saw 14 different moose.  Then in September we saw none.  They love the snowmobile trails because they hold their weight, and they can move around easier.  Cam was so funny.  That is all he talked about for the rest of the day.  Oh that, and hitting daddy and papi with snowballs!

The pictures are great! I love the ones of your grandson watching the moose and waving to her!
I haven't seen a moose in a very long time, probably 20 years. They are magnificent to see!! He'll never forget it!

Whew...I read your title and thought your grandson was hunting moose....good thing I'm getting new glasses....lol

When my DH and I were dating, we heard on his scanner that a moose was loose in our city, yes we lived in Lowell Ma and we never saw forest animal's in our area, so we followed the moose...his Dad was not happy when he saw the big dent that moose put in his car, they had a vet shot it with a medicated dart so they could bring him back to a better inviroment....your little good news story brought back that memory and your pictures were great....have a good night...Laurie
