As my time in the Tetons ended there were still come great opportunities to watch and photograph the moose. This handsome bull was crossing the flats on a mission of his own.
One morning I came across a bull that was staying rather close to a cow and calf that were feeding on a hillside. He stood just below them for a long time. Eventually the cow lead her calf down the hill and across the flats to cross the road. They were likely heading for the river. As they started to move the bull moved in closer and the pace picked up.
She and the calf crossed the road before the bull. He knew pushing her too much would not work in his favor. I did manage to get an image of them close together just before she moved on again to the river.
The late afternoon light was ideal as I watched this bull. He was following
The morning of the day I was leaving the campground I found four bulls of assorted ages, along with a cow, in the campground. To my great pleasure the senior bull was Hoback, and it was he that followed/chased the cow to the river. The other three did a bit of sparring and eventually headed towards the river. Hoback was rather thin and showing his age but he sure was game to chase that cow.
