The bull is coming closer to us on the Chimney Pond Trail in Baxter State Park. These pictures were taken at dusk with a simple point and shoot camera.
The bull is approaching us
We were separated from the bull by a deep ravine on the side of the trail. We never approached the bull – he didn’t seem bothered by all the spectators.

This is AWESOME! I so want to shoot a moose, with a camera of course ;-).
I’ve heard they are pretty calm around people in Baxter, I think I need a road trip…
Yes, the moose in Baxter are used to people but never approach one and please keep a safe distance.

Wel, he LOOKS close!
He got even closer but we wisely decided to move on down the trail.
What an amazing picture! My family just booked a 8 day camping trip in Baxter during July. I CAN NOT wait! I love your site!
Thanks for the kind words! A good place to see a moose is at Sandy Stream Pond (especially before dusk).
