Yep, we had a momma moose and her baby hanging out in my back yard the other day! Too cool! There has been so much snow in the mountains that they are coming down into the valley to look for food. 
While they were here, they made themselves comfy under the shelter of our trees. They also enjoyed a couple "leafy" snacks.

Ok, these last 2 pics are kind of "foggy" b/c I took them from inside my house. They moved MUCH closer so I hurried and grabbed the camera again. The baby is on the left. CUTE!
Since our dogs were going ballistic, we had to call the forest service to come take care of the moose "problem." A whole bunch of them came with trucks, rifles, sleds, and a trailer. But don't worry, they didn't kill them--they just tranquilized them, put them on the sled, pulled them across an acre of land, and loaded them in the trailer. I believe they took them back into the mountains and released them. It was surreal!

I'm so jealous!
OMG, I am also jealous! I alway wish you could move over here, but after seeing this, I want to move out in the boonies w/ you. That is SO cool!
HOLY COW - they show stuff like that on the news all the time! That looks like fun, what a neat thing to see moose that up close and personal. I've seen them - but it was up in Canada!
