Great shot, I'm jealous. I wanted to take a picture of a moose so bad when I went to Yellowstone but never saw one.

Thanks for sharing.

Okay, lets cut to the chase. This is not a real moose, is it? it's two of your friends in a moose suit. But the behinder friend lost the moose tail--which you will have to pay for when you return the moose suit--and his underware is showing--polka dot boxers, for goodness sake, and so you cropped the picture so we would think you were tre brave and plate foolhardy and knife-and-fork sneaky and quiet like an indian that lives in the pristine teepee with the bird hanging around. You can't fool us, Michael, we are a savy bunch. And a ointment bunch, too. Good try though.
