Found some moose tracks. They're around, but there isn't many. I put a camera up there today. There's beaver ponds, bogs, little lakes, a spring, a couple streams (one pretty marshy), all really close by, hoping that's just it territory and it'll wander back through again.

Look for heavily tracked spots where the moose stops to nibble Aspen or Willow twigs, fresh evergreen tips, or whatever else they eat in your neck of the woods. I have seen favorite trees that get eaten on a regular basis. They will have almost bare sections.

That Willow bush has been picked clean over and over.

Thanks for the tips. Didn't know they had favorite snacks they'd return to.

As we speak/type.

When the local elk herd decides the capsaicin repellant (for gophers) you threw down is delicious!

The buffet is open:

The next morning:

And if you have aspens, it's like ringing the dinner bell for moose during the summer:

Or shade on a hot day for mom and the kids:

Meanwhile, this guy has it made!

Obergurgling... you get quite a bit for your $65 lift ticket

This restaurant at Soelden was the shrinks office in the James Bond film Spectre. We were skiing and watched the stunt flying for about 6 hours- that part was for a ten second clip in the film. The lift to this restaurant was blocked that day because the actors and crew had commandeered it. The shrink asked him how much he drank and he replied "too much"

normally we eat bratwurst or something but the relatives were over....

The missus at Saas Fee, recent because we were very late to adopt helmets for on-piste (after my best friend in Germany hit his head skiing, he was wearing a helmet but he had a hemorrhage several days later- he was an orthopedic surgeon and is now a wine salesman- lucky to regain speech and two of his three languages),

Somewhere in Europe, either Italy or Austria, missus again. update- This is Lech in Austria. Lift ticket is 58 EUR ($65?)
