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!

Concerned? Me too.

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).
