Moose in the Colorado Rocky Mountains

Bull Moose Visiting His Favorite Watering Hole For A Drink Of Water

He was hanging out with another younger bull and a cow.

I have an extensive collection of moose photographs going back 20 years. I have created different Lightroom collections by types of moose photos. One of those collections is photographs of moose in water. That collection has over 13,000 photos in it. This photo is from that collection.

July 30th, 2019. This bull is pretty healthy looking and his antler growth for late July is larger than most. He was hanging out with another younger bull and a cow. He still has another month of fattening up and growing his antlers before the rut begins, and I’m sure found a mate that year.
