At the very beginning of our long range traverse (backwards) we were climbing the Gros Morne mountains, with the only trail available, bottom was cliffy top was impassable with tuckamore (dense forests that are very common to the area)..and this mama moose with her calf were chilling right on the trail, it took us 40 minutes of waiting for her to move, as whenever we'd try and get close she would get all nervous and protective of her calf, last thing we wanted is for her to charge at us.. so we had to wait while being eaten alive by blackflies and burning under the sun ..eventually to our luck there was another hikers approaching from an opposite direction, now that finally made animals to stand up and try to escape.. right towards our direction, we had to squeeze into the sharp dense trees along with the backpack to let them pass in peace.. towards the end you can see how distrustful the mother is looking at us, considering whether it safe for her to pass by us, and you can see the calf is fighting with it's curiosity trying to get close to the lens of my camera, but we had to scare it off just in case the mother realizes it.
Hope you enjoy the video!
