... shot in the b-dub. Last year on my June solo, on Hope Creek close to where it empties into Insula (SE part of Insula). It was a travel day and I was on my way from Hope Lake to Hudson. The shot was taken at about 10:00 in the morning. I was just paddling along when I caught a movement out of the corner of my eye. First of all, I only saw Mama, then I saw one, then both calves (you do see both of them in the picture don't you?).
When I travel, I usually hang my Olympus Stylus 140 (Point and Shoot with 38-140mm zoom) around my neck so it's handy. I was able to grab the camera, zoom out to 140, and capture a sequence of 4-5 pictures before they wandered off into the underbrush. I admit to doing some further, digital zooming (about 2:1) on my computer after scanning)
On that 8 day trip, I saw moose on 5 of the days. I saw some of the moose multiple times. Total of 10-11 moose (including 2 cows with twins). I saw them at all times of the day. The best thing to do is to travel as quietly as possible and have a camera handy. I'm not even sure the quiet part is all that important -- my most successful moose sighting trip was one I took with some Boys Scouts who definitely were NOT keeping quiet. I like to be as quiet as possible anyway -- especially when soloing.
