I got back from a SE Alaska fishing trip yesterday and had to take the Cub out for a short hop this morning. I landed on this gravel bar from left to right. Unknown to me at the time there was a bull moose laying in the little willow patch. I took off from this bar and landed another a little upstream. I turned around and landed the first bar again in the opposite direction. There about 300 yards in front of me stood the moose. He was completely unconcerned about the idling Cub and was taking a long drink.
If you look close this after-picture shows him about in the center crossing the far bank.

I taxied closer and took this image as he crossed a little channel.

I never did see a moose on this Alaska trip. And this gravel bar area is just 2 miles from our airport. Deer and elk are common sights along the river but this is the first moose I've shared the gravel with.
