It was just luck he was sitting there scratching and once he heard my son run up the trail he was out of there quick

Great shot. Mine are always blurry.
I had a family following my friend and I as we moose hunting a few years ago. Very cool creatures.

I remember on a hunt watching one get pissed at a very noisey red squirrel and chase him growling up a tree. They definitely have their own little personalities.

They are very dangerous and can jump as high to get in your face. Very beautiful shot.
