It takes allot of deer feed to feed a moose.

Most moose feed higher up on the tops of saplings and such during the fall andwinter months, leaving the shorter stuff for deer. If there is alot of snow that could become a problem.


in illinois the deer hit the fields alot, but maine i never see it.

They will here to at times, however if it keeps bothering the farmers the state will grant them the right to shoot it. Other fields they have poachers to worry about and a lot of them are shot. I do not agree with the poachers but they are called that for a reason. Here in the summer months when fishing it is not uncommon to here shots going off. That is a real problem for us , but in this area alot have been caught in the last few years. This should help us out as well. The deer that is left appear to have learned that and how to hide very well.

Here is a pic I took this morning of a Maine moose in velvet shedding his hair.
