Young Bull

This morning I came upon two bulls together at sunrise. (see next image)
They were about to depart so I gave my best cow-moose-in-heat call and caught the attention of this young bull.
For the next hour I called as he worked his way along the far shoreline until he was directly opposite me.
I must have been convincing as he suddenly entered the water and swam towards me with a purpose.
I let him get halfway before stepping out from cover and revealing myself.
He stopped, stared at me for a few seconds, then turned, swam back and disappeared into the forest.

See next image for a view of the two bulls together.

What a skill you developed and used. The beautiful picture has even more meaning after reading about the circumstance that led up to it. BV for all of it, Kevin

He does look interested; I'm glad you finally revealed who was making all those calls! Must have been a big disappointment for him to see you ;-).
