Moose bites again.
I recall reading some years back that Idaho had a problem in the 1930’s where they cancelled moose hunting one season because they thought the population was too low. They had a extremely hard winter that year and later found more moose dead than they thought had existed. The larger than expected moose population decimated the winter browse- the vegetation the moose eat in the winter that determines the sustainable population- and it took a couple decades in some areas for it to recover.
Fortunately wildlife management has improved since then, but if there are too many moose allowing them to be hunted is the answer.
