That's a big boy. Hopefully there aren't any Boulder cops around.
He is a good sized elk, give it another 2 months there will be many more bigger than him.

Anyway, Take the spousal unit up to estes for nice dinner. See the usual fauna wandering around. Chow down, great meal. Time to leave, come around the drivers side of the truck and OOPS! staring at the ass end of bullwinkle. Went back for a beverage, or 2, while the moose wandered through the parking lot. As cute as the tree huggers think they are, they're one mean SOB when annoyed, OR disturbed.
WHAT you didn't whip out your 2 tactical shotguns and blast that sucker?
Tried to reason with him over a cup of chia tea?
Took a photo op for the tourists?
I'm more nervous around moose than bear. Saw one while camping last weekend that was obviously debating whether or not he wanted to charge my truck.Quote:

Yes, they can and do get bigger, but that is a definitely a trophy bull.
Mmmmmm, backstraps.
Damn, that's a big MFer
