Early this morning, I shot these two bull moose in Utah's Wasatch mountains. They seemed to be sizing up each other in preparation for the breeding season which will start in about six weeks.

The antlers have been growing very fast, it looks like they have added two inches in length since I photographed them two weeks ago. within the next four weeks, the antlers will begin to loose the outer felt-like velvet covering and become hardened and ready as weapons for the battles during the rut.
