The Night of the Moose

Footprints of a bull moose in the Rocky Mountains.

It was the last night of camping at Kelly Dahl Campground. Full moon. Steel blue forest. Around midnight, the intermittent grunts of a moose. It's rut season and that's expected. What wasn't expected was that giant bull so close to my tent. Then the animal ran away and hit something while climbing a hill. It kept the grunts for some time. Then disappeared into the forest.
