I started out the day in search of bighorn, but they were nowhere to be found today. After more hiking to see what else I could find, I bumped into several grouse before eventually seeing seven moose. I only got pics of 4 moose, so that's the number I'm using for my documented moose count on the day. The young bulls seemed like they were three year old twins, but it's tough to know for sure. They were very affectionate towards each other and almost identical except a couple differences that I could see in their antlers (which presumably wouldn't perfectly match a twin in any case). It also makes me wonder if moose twins are typically fraternal or identical? I'll have to look it up. The other moose that I encountered were very skittish, and I only managed to snap a couple quick cell phone shots of one of the mother/calf pairs. Great hike. Hopefully I'll find the bighorn again soon.
