My wife and i took a weekend trip to Denali this past weekend, and the weather and wildlife was very very good. Here are a couple bull moose that I was lucky enough to find, (along with about 30 others :D).

Younger bull moose, taken with the 400L.

Wow! What great shots! I think #2 should be framed and hanging on your wall. Thanks for sharing.

These shots are fantastic. Why is it that everytime I go out I only see female moose and their calves? And when I do see a bull moose its from 2000 yards away.....

Moose are just sweet.

Both great but a big +1 for #2...
