We took a layover day. I am fairly confident we heard moose in the morning. It sounded like a weird cow? Around 9 am when I was on the pooper, I swear I heard a bull moose fight. Grunting and the clacking of antlers? I really wish we would of investigated this further but it ended after about 10 minutes. Winds kicked up the afternoon with thunder to the south. The storms stayed away and by sunset the winds had died down and we ended the night with a nice fire.
