This is not good news for the moose populations. Have hunted moose in several states.......great meat....sad to see their numbers declining.

According to an Arizona G&F publication, moose are susceptible to chronic wasting disease, which is spreading across the US and Canada. That does not sound good for the population, either.

The Brain worm in moose is common where ever their territory crosses with deer's. The Deer are not harmed by the worm but the worm eats the tiny walnut sized brain of a moos causing abnormal behaviours and early death. Deer herds are on the rise as there are many more deer hunters and herd management techniques.

Wolf population is up and game animal population is down.

Several years back.....was driving a road up in the Rangley Lake area in Maine......within about a 3 mile stretch.....we saw at least 20 moose standing along side the road. I know what you mean!!
