Picture taken from the driver's seat on a CPR train engine.



The track is 56 1/2 inches between the rails,so the antlers are at least a 6 foot span.....

Holy smokes. That's a beast.

How tall do you think that is? Probably the size of a Camel if not larger.

Egads... I'd be sure to take the sharp edges off the broadhead... that way it won't hurt so bad when that moose shoves the arrow up your.... well you get the idea

You're gooona tick him off some...

Gentleman, I highly doubt these pics are photoshoped. I can see from most of the comments people are making, the state you live in doesn't even have moose, or very little. I have been on two moose hunts in the Yukon, and lived in Eagle River Alaska for 6 years. Moose sightings were an EVERYDAY occurance. Now have spent 19 years in Montana. Moose of the Yukon and Alaska ARE that big!! Believe it. Lower 48 moose are about 700-900lbs lighter!

Well I agree that a Moose can get huge. BUT unless this moose has majical power to allow sun light to pass through it's body, then it is photoshopped...

Look at pictures 1 and 2, now look at the shadows from the trees on to the gravel road. The moose moves but the shadows are unchanged and there is no moose shadow in either one... The sun light is to the left side of the screen and there would be some kind of shadow....

Now look at picture 3, WHY so much snow dust, and where are the tracks below the dusk????
