I have spent nearly 3 decades in the company of moose. I am intrigued and in wonderment with all moose, but especially the Alaska/Yukon subspecies, simply because they are so big. I have studied them, hunted them, and lived with them in Alaska and Idaho. It's been fun.


The little Shiras moose is small in comparison to the Alaska/Yukon subspecies.



They seem to like water, and summertime finds them often submerged in water, trying to avoid mosquitos.



They grow some impressive antlers in Alaska.



We usually have moose in the yard here in Idaho in the winter.



In a study we did on the Susitna River, grizzly (shown here) and wolf were responsible for over 80% calf mortality.
