Real or Photoshop Moose

[68Charger]

I've seen moose that big, but not in Colorado... Not that they don't exist-I've just never seen one here.

Texas moose.

Nah, photo was probably taken in a larger state. The trees in the photo are small and the road is just wide enough for a single vehicle...if you don't care much about the paint on the sides.

Moose: Think Percheron with antlers and an attitude...

[Ah Pook]

I'd say real. We have a good size young male in the neighborhood and he is tall.

I think it's more of a perspective trick than anything. It's more real than Caitlyn Jenner

According to the wiki, depending on where they are they can get quite large. As tall as 6.9' at the shoulder.

The largest confirmed size for this species was a bull shot at the Yukon River in September 1897 that weighed 820 kg (1,808 lb) and measured 2.33 m (7.6 ft) high at the shoulder.^[82] There have been reported cases of even larger moose, including a bull that reportedly scaled 1,180 kg (2,601 lb), but none are authenticated and some may not be considered reliable.

I think the 6.9' height is in the range of 'average'.

My sister was once bitten by a moose.

Yea seems to be average at the shoulder. Which means the head and antlers are easily going over 10'.

I'd bet money the photos are real. It's a big fawkin' moose and a small ATV trail. People are just too quick these days to scream "Photoshop!" or go running to Snopes, like it's some big victory to prove that a photo isn't real or what someone said is wrong.
