[QUOTE="wjschmaltz, post: 351859, member: 6150"] I guess the simple and obvious answer to me would be there's clearly an evolutionary reason that moose stay with their mothers for their first winter. It's obvious that has played into the survival of the species or else it wouldn't be that way. Maybe because moose are mostly solitary during the winter while elk, caribou, and deer herd up. So maybe moose calves need their mother for protection and to show them where winter food is while other species can rely on the herd. I guess that probably doesn't matter in a place like ND where moose predators have mostly been removed from the landscape and there really isn't a migration from wintering grounds to summer grounds. A bit too intrusive for me personally, I suppose. But legal is legal. [/QUOTE]
