Over Fourth of July weekend, our VP of sales, Tim Janes, captured this photo of moose while he was kayaking at Chambers Lake in northern Colorado. He said, "They were so quiet. We just heard a small splash and looked over and saw them. When they move their legs, they splash a little. Aside from that, you would never know they were there until you were right up to them."
