Glad you posted this cool picture and here is as good a place as any ... but I had to laugh, contrasting it with a Pronghorn. And now since I'm here I'll post a pic that demonstrates why shooting is often exciting. Without the photo my memory of this fun experience would be faded away!

Was shooting a landscape in Rocky Mountain National Park with the M6II when some dear approached, walking within several feet of me before they crossed the road to get a drink. Fortunately I had the 1DXII/100-400II/1.4xIII nearby from a previous stop.

Checking out the road and the photographer.

Photobombed.

Looking both ways.

A nice stretch of the Big Thompson River for fishing.

House bound, I figured I'd go back to by first 6D shots since I took so many and hardly looked at many; that was in 2013. Taken just outside my yard, maybe 5 minutes walking. The moose tend to be somewhat transient rather than hanging around. He walked close to me directly across a very small creek to drink and I had too much lens. :(
