From the MN DNRResearch by the DNR continues to examine the complex potential causes of a moose population decline that started about a decade ago. The research also suggests the recent signs of stability could have resulted from higher calf survival. Much remains unknown. What is known: Factors including infections, parasites and other health issues are killing moose and predisposing them to being preyed on by wolves.The wolves were there far before the decrease in Moose population. Many things impact our animals. Sick Moose make for easy eating but wolves didn't predispose them to dying they just cleaned up the scraps.
Bears alone are responsible for upwards of 35% of the fawn mortality.

Honest question. When was the last call you heard from the WDFW or USFW do help on a habitat project? The only one I can think of was planting bitterbrush after the fire. It was last minute and not well advertised.My big beef with habitat discussions is that it is always about buying more land, not maximizing productivity of state owned land.... The land is cherry valley and Stillwater are perfect examples of land that needs caring for that volunteers are having a difficult time PROVIDING the $ and man power to maintain/fix up habitat. Land that should see maximum utility because of its close proximity to the population.If there are habitat projects that are needed, and not enough funds or man power where is the town cryer shouting out "hunters and conservationists we need your help with XYZ project!"Ask Happy how easy it was to have tractors with Brush Hogs "certified" so they could burn donated fuel and hours to improve lands we already own...Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk
