Moose at two o’clock

johngregsite Posted on by

As promised we have an image from the Gopro camera on the canoe of the meeting with a big moose last Saturday. Not the greatest but adds to the documentary evidence of collusion, in our opinion.

After some seconds of staring at each other, the moose turned to his right and swam/trudged across the stream, climbing the bank as seen, barely, in the image below.

At the same time, I stowed my paddle, turned and grabbed Murphy’s collar to keep him in the canoe, and then attempted to get the paddle back in the water to point the canoe, hence the camera, back toward the quickly departing moose.

Madagascal stream patrol

For our July adventure this year, we went north to Grand Falls Township and a small camp in the Maine woods near the Madagascal stream.

The stream runs many miles south from the Lincoln area to the north side of the Passadumkeag ridge. There are many beaver dens along the route as well as beaver dams in various stages of destruction and construction. Seeing beavers is rare since we travel during mid-day. Every other year or so, we see moose and this happened this year. A gopro camera on the front of the canoe has some less-than-adequate images of a bull moose we came face-to-face with at a corner of the stream. We hope to post some part of these here.
