Pheasant-Deer-Moose

Cory has been out hunting pheasant with Miley and loving every minute of it. Noah gets excited about the birds and Cory usually gives him a tail feather to hang on to. Marty came up a while back with his dog. Cory and Marty have the same type of dog. Here I am looking out our office window into our neighbor's yard. Can you see the three deer? We have seen the same three deer off and on all summer and fall. On this day I first saw them around 2:30pm and when I left the house around 5:00pm they were still in the backyard just hanging out. This past Wednesday Fergus had a Moose sighting early in the morning. I knew nothing about it. But I woke up and heard our neighbor's dog barking and barking so I thought I would look out and see what he was barking at and I see this Huge Dark Deer...which so happened to really be a Moose. It was right by the swing set in this picture. I was so shocked, my mouth dropped and I could not move. My camera was right there but I didn't have enough time to react. The dog's barking scared it off pretty fast. But I was so excited to actually see a "wild moose" out my kitchen window. So next I call Cory and the first thing he says is, "did you see the moose"? I am thinking "how did you know"? He then told me he had heard on the radio that the police were asking for people to call if they saw this moose, that they were trying to push it back out of town so it would not cause any problems. So I called the police and saw them drive by but I didn't see the moose again. I was bummed, I didn't get a picture of it. I have always told Cory that if he ever had the chance to hunt a moose and actually kill one that he could hang it anywhere in my house. I think they are a cool looking animal. Weird. I know!
