Following up on a tip from a friend resulted in finding a moose kill. I'm guessing , but I would estimate this was probably a four to five hundred pound animal. The likelihood of finding this moose carcass was poor at best. I’ve been bushwhacking the last few weekends looking for moose sheds in north central Massachusetts. It’s really just another excuse to be in the woods. It’s a bit early for shed hunting but I figured why not look for sheds and maybe I'll find the moose carcass. While meandering back and forth on a hillside looking for the carcass I picked up on several sets of coyote tracks and started following them. They led me to the moose. In just over a weeks’ time, predators literally cleaned the carcass to the bone. Other than the lower legs, there was nothing left. Further investigation showed scat from coyotes and bobcat in the area.
