As I awaited the 5:30am wake up call, the excitement of possibly seeing a Moose began to grow! As the first rays of dawn lit up the campsite, everyone stirred from their tents to gather around the roaring fire, shaking off the chill of the night. With spirits high, we set out in canoes around 6:30 am, gliding gracefully over calm waters beneath cloudy skies. Without warning, a magnificent Cow Moose emerged from the foliage and gracefully entered the water, delicately feasting on lily pads. We couldn't believe our eyes and shared silent screams of ecstasy as we observed this captivating creature in its natural habitat. Our amazement, however, reached an entirely new level soon after! From the left side of the shore, a symphony of rustling trees and bushes drew our attention. In an awe-inspiring spectacle, a majestic 17-point Bull Moose emerged, exuding an air of regal dominance!
