Moose Swims at Weirs Beach - Caption Needed
 

Bob Andrews of Anchor Marine sent me this picture of a Moose taking a swim near FL 1 off Weirs Beach on Monday. (more in PhotoPost)

Any captions?

Captain Moosehead?

Leave me alone, I'm just travellin' at headway speed!

Now Rocky - watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.

Hey! Slow down I can't reach the tow rope! And where did my other ski go?

how bout
 

Does this look like a Wake to you??
or
He thought he was in Moose Head Lake, Boy was he confused!!
or
Oh Man, I am soooo late my wife is going to kill me, better cut across the lake to save time

Why did the moose cross the lake?


BTW, that is a reallllly cool picture.

How does one "Brake for Moose" on the Lake?

are we sure this is a Moose?
 

Are we sure this is a Moose, it might be the lake monster Champie from Lake Champagne on vacation at Lake Winnipesaukee. :laugh:

Hey watch out for the moose!!!!!!!!!

why cool picture thanks for sharing it Don

Danged global warming!

I should be able to walk across here in February.

what would a moose do for a klondike bar

Bullwinkle, you of all "people" should be able to answer that one! ;)

My what big ears you have, my deer...

Look mom!! NO HANDS!!

Where'd the stairs go!

Where is his orange cap or at least a MFD.....Moose Flotation Device

Could someone point me to my rack?

No antlers. I can't tell if it's a male or a female. But on the assumption it's the former, I'll go with:

"Pointless Bull"

Ice Cream, Ice Cream. Gotta get me some Ice Cream......

With this nose, I can smell Kevin's Café from 2 miles.

I'm pretty sure I've got the right of way here

I hope that following the moose in the boat to take pictures didn't cause her to get tired from having to swim more avoiding the boat following her. I really enjoyed these pictures but just want to also mention that we need to be concerned about how we address these lovely creatures in their habitat.

Looking for a place to dock.

It looks to me like the moose isn't swimming away from the photog. Moose can swim for miles. Their hollow fur helps them float. They are very good swimmers. Nor does it look like the camera boat is too close. I address them, "Hello Mr. Moose".

:)

I did look at the other photos and she did appear to be changing direction and you can see a part of the boat in one photo. I don't mean to imply this is what happened, and I also didn't want to sound soap boxish (is that a word?) just general thoughts and concerns. I know they can swim quite far, how far had she gone before ths photos? Not trying to create a problem and let's get back to the captions :)

"Has anyone seen my cello?"

Caption....
 

Looks like Bullwinkle forgot her/his red shower cap again!! :D


PS, And how about the 18 Million + PhotoPost Views Folks!! "It's Happen'in Here"! :) Thanks again Don!!

Moose swims
 

I ain't no hound dog! This ain't no doggie paddle!:

Moooov'n down from Lake Mooselookmeguntic to Lake Winnipesaukee was my best moooove.

Wwwednesday is one dollar ice cream day at Kellerhouse......one dollar cones big enuf to pleeze a moose!

forget the rocks, don't hit the moose.

that must of been really cool to see out in the water if by boat or not. neat photos

"So my ears stick out ! Is that a good reason to be voted off the island ?!?"

or ...

"What the Meredith McDonalds mascot does on his days off"

moose takes
 

Oh well 'water' you gona do.........everyone makes 'moosetakes'...!

Moose?
 

Hate to be a skeptic, but it looks to me like a dog with a moose head photoshopped onto it.

That moose has a deer caught in the headlights look....

He better not be going over 45 in that thing or Im sure Marine patrol will ticket him/her

My husband thinks it was photoshopped, but only because we joke that moose are a myth. I have been coming up to the lake for longer than I care to mention, but my entire life and have never once seen a moose.

We left for Jersey on Sunday. My theory is that all the moose leave when I enter the state and this one was in a real hurry to get back home once I left!

Anyone up for a real Moosehead? I am making my way over to the NASWA. I heard 'bout boat rides on OCDactives "Go Fasts"! (-:

Moose swimming
 

Yes, I CAN swim!:laugh:

A Gary Larson Fan, Perhaps?
 

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Stop the voting—we have a winner!! :D

Concerned? Me too. :cool:

Right here on the lake, a moose will swim by every few years. When they start out on a swim, only their heads and necks are above water. As soon as a boater approaches, then the back of the moose will appear above the water. (Indicating an increase in effort and stress). :(

oh great....
 

now we have to worry about moose itch!

OK, I passed Bear Island now where's Moose Island?

No, I'm not lost. I don't need a map, and I'm not going to ask for directions. Now stop nagging me, hon, I know this is the right way. Just try to keep up, will ya?

Moose Island is southeast of Rattlesnake Island.

We cruised by there today but didn't see any moose. :)

I just swam my antlers off!

you all are soooo funny...I still haven't come up with anything..

We love your comments!

This Moose's name was Herd, so everyone skirted around! :)

Moose Crossing
 

it would seem to me that in safetys sake the State should have the marine patrol install some "Moose Croosing" signs in the area!:laugh:

where is the Captain?
 

Mr. Moose is looking for Captain Kangaroo and Bunny Rabbit...:rolleye2:

We had family visiting from Auburn, NY and they were asking if there were any moose around. That answers that question!

:-)
 

Spotted by the marine patrol, he planned to use the excuse that he was only traveling at head way speed.

Jetskier:cool:

:laugh:

I didn't think it was this far when I was standing on the shore over there!

Rocky: Hey Bullwinkle, we're in real trouble now!
Bullwinkle: Oh good, Rocky! I hate that artificial kind!

That's awesome!
 

That's awesome! Does anyone know if he/she (sorry, I'm a city kid) made it to shore o.k?

Tank

By No Stretch....
 

although I lost my antlers, I can still swim with the best of them! :)

im pretty sure you are to stay 150 feet from other boaters.....whats the rule with this one? haha thanks for the pic!

OOO! it's shallow here!! eeeew! What did I put my foot into?!!!Yuk!!
