So my brother text me a little while ago claiming he saw a cow and calf in a field near sumas way, I told him he saw a horse and colt and asked what he put in his coffee lol
Wondering if anyone else here has ever heard of such a thing? Or anything about these 2 as im sure plenty of people must have witnessed this

Sumas mountain....

I saw a moose walking across 200 St in Langley a few years ago so anything is possible.

it is possible; but what is even more possible is that he saw either elk (which are totally there) or horses like you said. There are moose not too far from there though so anything is possible

Have seen moose sign in Chilliwack...and elk sign....very possible due to being a stones throw for abby.

I have trailcam video of a bull in the Chilliwack/Hope area... also see a fair by of moose nugs and the odd track. There are moose in the Fraser Valley, probably not in huge numbers, but given the amount of sign/sightings vs the amount of cover, it's still decent numbers.
