Bull Moose Close-Up In Pouring Rain

Occurred on July 31, 2024 / Somerset County, Maine, USA

Info from Licensor: "I am an old country gal that loves the woods and animals. I spent many many years looking for moose and deer antlers. I am into wildlife photography a lot now, and playing with my game cameras. Every once in awhile I get something pretty nice like this big bull. It makes tromping through the woods and bugs all worth it. This is the second year I have captured this big guy. I even got him rubbing off his velvet last year. I set up a small blind right where he walks, but it's hours from home so I don't get there very often. I've been going there well over 20 years, seen lots of moose and some bear and deer there. My secret spot. I captured him on 7/31/24 this year, only 2 days later than last year. Stuff like this is why this a 69-year-old woman still runs around in the woods and swamps to check my game cams. He's certainly not the biggest bull in Maine, but he's handsome!"
