I saw this on another canoe board.  Pretty cool.

Thanks for posting that link TT  8-)
One of the reasons I like to paddle close to the shoreline because you get a chance to see a lot of animals.

  Problem is you rarely get time for a photo.
They see you and disappear leaving you with just a nice memory.

With those cameras getting smaller/cheaper, I might think about setting one up every day/night especially went I get down to base-camp type trips in my "old" age.  ;) ;D ;D

Would make for some good PODS.

Yes, thanks for posting.  Excellent video!

The moose running up out of the water reminded me of a time long ago.  I was on my first solo in 1984 and just green and nervous to be out there alone.  Sometime early in the weeklong trip I lay in my tent before dawn when I start hearing a steady thumping noise.  It got louder and louder and seemed to go right past my tent before splashing into the water at the landing. 

I was freaked out to say the least.  I realized something was now swimming in the water so unzipped the door and scrambled out.  In the pre dawn light I could make out the head and rack of a bull moose swimming away to the other side of the narrow lake I was camped on.  I watched until he clambered up the other bank.  He paused for a moment, looked around before disappearing into the woods.

I think it's experiences like this that has me coming back year after year. :)

Before I became a solo tripper my first up-close moose experience was much similar TT.

4 of us camped in 4 solo tents on a point in Maine.
Heard noise and in the glow of the dying campfire, you could see the shape of 2 cow moose walking thru are camp and a big bull following them.

It scared the hell out of us.

I think I'll add a trail cam to the packing list for next year.

Cool video, thanks for posting.
