How COOL! But wrong spot for Them! Wolves lives where Moose are. Hopefully Moose get cross south of Twisp River to stay away from North Between Twisp and Wintrop. DANGER SPOT for Moose! :yike:

Post by: Maligator on August 27, 2009, 06:57:52 AM: I'm thinking that moose are not safe from wolves either. They have documented a particular pack in Yellowstone that actually hunts Bison and are really good at it! JMHO, but I think a bison would be more formidable than a moose. :dunno:
