Default RE: Maine hunting

Hi guys mind if I pipe in? As far as the Moose issue goes, I can tell you for sure they are taking a toll on the deer. What happens in the winter the moose like deer will eat just about anything to survive.

This may be true to some extent but moose brouse higher up as a rule and the cuttings we have up this way they are to high to bother the deer much. The amount of snowfall is a big factor here. Coyotes will catch deer easier, as the deer are moving around their yards. The winter before last was a mild one and tagging stations were tagging up to the last 10 years worth of deer in the last season. We also have a lot of moose and hunting is allowed up here. The past winter in this area the deer started yarding up around the end of Feb. so we are hoping for another good hunting year. We have been seeing quite a few yearlings again so who knows? So we are hoping for another good season ahead. You are welcome to pipe in, like anyone can my friend.
