MT I enjoyed the report.  Good wild life sightings. Thank you

Hey thanks MP. One thing that never fails to amaze me is just how quickly wildlife can apprehend your presence even from far away. I tried to slip up on a very big moose and didn't paddle when he looked up and drifted behind a point to sneak up on Him (I was pretty far away) and when I popped out he was gone. Not like the Bullwinkle character that got caught with his pants down in the creek.

When I go I expect to see stuff. I try to blend in and I tend to paddle near shore and am a big believer in being quiet. If you go expecting to see things you start actually looking and that is the key.
