Moose can be found in several places in the US, but few are as big as this Alaskan Bull. Photographing Moose is easiest during the rut while they are looking for females, but it is also dangerous as a kick from a large Moose can kill a person. When photographing large mammals it is important to learn about them first and go with someone who has experience. It took over a week of work in the cold to get this photo, but it has already sold several times including a book cover, so the effort was worthwhile.
Photo taken with Nikon D1H, 400mm f/2.8 lens. 1/ 500s at f/5.6
