That boy ain’t right.

We were out for four days on a river to look for a moose... we saw a large cow that morning and then this less than an hour after... didn’t see any moose after that....

First I've heard of moose flying away in helicopters, and I've been a wildlife biologist for almost 30 years! Must be a Canadian thing.....

Good to know that helicopter flying low making circles don’t bother moose!!!

Spending time on the water with my wife and daughter looking for moose is one of my best time spent on the water!!

Loved the pics, really wish I could tag along. Hunting had been tough here, last couple days 45 plus mph winds, lost power due to my feeder power pole had limb blown into isolator and blew out lines. That said with colder temps and occasional snow showers, bucks are starting to get active here. Good luck with your moose quest!

Well it think I might be done for this year regarding moose! Temps in the -15c every night and not climbing above freezing during the day makes for limited water travel, lakes even big ones have started to show 100+yards of shore ice, and there is even a group of hunters got helivac because they were stuck in the ice on a river(fools if you ask me, you would have never heard of something like that 15 years ago, people have no common sense anymore and are really quick at calling in for evacuation)
so if I go again it will be trucked based and that sucks imo! Next up will be bison to try and get some meat for the winter!!

Almost the same up here, hoping to get in a river hunt this weekend, probably be the last chance.

Our October trip was a relaxed recon long weekend, searching out shorelines, portages and campsites.
Here we explored a pretty little bay where a stream ran down from a beaver meadow.

Still a favorite photo, the old Wards Sea King along the Paw Paw Bends section on the Potomac.

A complete accident of framing. I am given to understand that photo composition is best divided into thirds; top/middle/bottom, or left/center/right. That happy accident (even the trestle reflection was coincidental) even divides in thirds diagonally.

I wish I had a photographer’s eye, and envy folks who frame their photos with more than just centered frame snapshot composition, with proper lighting.

Hey DougD, I’m looking at a framed copy of one of your photographs on my office wall; the Hogback Saint on a broad sandy beach, illuminated by a sunbeam through the fog. That is an evocative photograph, and does the thirds thing in all dimensions.

In addition to thirds top/bottom, left/right, its nice to have things in the foreground, middleground and background.

A playful tailwind pushed us along thru scattered islands under a broken sky. A timid waning moon hung ghostly over my shoulder while the veiled sun was equally shy. Although our spirits were high we could've used some warmth that day.

Just found that one. From our last moose no moose trip...

Canot, your red canoe really pops in the haze of the picture, gives it a serene dramatic look ... I really like this photo.


Bob.

It wasn't always brisk and blustery. Only on the days ending in y.
