Seeing Moose

 


I’ve seen four moose the past week, all looked good from a distance. I didn’t notice any bald spots, which would typically indicate winter ticks. Also been getting a few moose on trial cameras. The cover pic is a TC video grab of a bull that browsed in front of the trail camera for almost five minutes. Sheds are coming hard this year! Not a single antler found in nearly twenty miles of bushwhacking. Hopefully it’s only a matter of time. This winter has been extremely mild (overall) in Massachusetts. As I write this article its fifty three degrees and sunny. I’m not complaining, but it certainly is putting a hold on tracking and locating fisher scent posts. I actually had a tick on my pant leg yesterday. That’s a first in February!!
