Meeting the mighty Moose

September 19, 2012  •  4 Comments

It was a lovely evening when I took the car and drove out of town towards Bälinge. I was hoping to see some Red deer. The first deer I saw was Fallow deer, there were however inside a deer park and rather nicely posing behind the fences. This was not what I was after; I wanted to photograph them without any fences in the way. Not far from the deer park I saw 15-20 Fallow deer standing in the corner of a field, I slowed down the car but as soon as the car still the deer took off into the woods. I bit further up the road at Bälinge bogs I did manage to see both Red deer and Roe deer. A few pictures were taken of both spices and I decided to drive back home.  On the way I did see a nice Roe buck standing not too far of the road, but there were no way of stopping or parking the car so I decided to drive a bit further. I parked the car and started to walk towards the Roe buck, suddenly there they were in front of me, first one big Moose, then one more.

I tried to get closer but the old bull kept an eye on me all the time. It was just an open field between us, every time I tried to get closer, he turned his head and smelled and looked in my direction for several minutes before deciding that I might not pose such big threat to him. Eventually they decided to go further away from where I was located so I decided to go back to my car and go home.

Tack Klas för kommentaren, jag antar att det bara är att öva på att smyga, så kommer vi nog närmare med tiden.

Det där känns igen. Att äntligen få viltkontakt men finna att det är omöjligt att komma närmre. Nu är ju förstås just detta viltet hyggligt stort i sig självt, men ändå...Ser ju i alla fall ut att vara rejält med horn här. Och älgtjurarna står fram bra mot för- och bakgrund. / Deerhunter
