Hard Winter for the moose...


With the exceptionally large amount of snow we've had this winter, moose have been struggling to make it through. When the snow is as deep as it is now, moose find it hard to maneuver through and end up on the roads where the snow is less. This leads to many car-moose collisions which have killed over 440 moose so far this winter just in my area alone. Recently a cow moose and her yearling calf have taken residence in my back yard for the last couple of weeks. I have a wooded area behind my house which offers them food and a safe place to rest. Here are a few pictures of them..enjoy!
