This Spring
camera traps have been videoing moose activity in both new and old Massachusetts
locations. Earlier in the season it appeared there may be three pregnant cow
moose in three different areas. Camera traps did video one cow and calf so far.
Yesterday’s camera trap check showed a cow that that did not appear to be
carrying any longer. She may have hidden her calf while she was browsing. I do
not recall ever camera trapping more than one cow and calf in any given year.
Might this be the year?
Close but
no cigar! The cover picture is a stream set I made early June targeting moose. Hopefully,
a cow with a calf cross at this location.
Checking my 2022 bear data, activity is consistent
with last year’s captures. I am really surprised that trail cameras are not picking up
more sow and cubs, now that the bear mating season is winding down. Hopefully, activity
picks up.
