127. A momma moose! 😳 May 2005
Sun Jul 28, 2024, 04:58 PM
Jul 2024

Me and Ex Mr Sedona and two kids walked around a corner at Jackson Lake Lodge cabins in Wyoming and surprised all of us.

She charged and covered 20 yards in seconds, we ran, of course.

She lost interest when we were a comfortable (for her) distance away from her baby.

We heard later from lodge employees she was well known to them. She lost two babies in two years to a car collision and a grizzley.

After that she started hanging around the lodge with her third. Poor momma, I hope that baby made it thru the summer.
