We have not seen moose in our yard for about two years but we saw fresh moose tracks today about 1/2 mile up-slope from home at about 1,000' elevation. They have tough walking in this deep crusty show but the snowshoeing for us was easy going today. A lot of the area was clear cut a few years ago so the growth of saplings makes for good browsing for the moose.
Of course according to Arlo you might see one at your window:
Quote:
Mooses come walking over the hill
Mooses come walking, they rarely stand still
When mooses come walking they go where they will
When mooses come walking over the hill
Mooses look into your window at night
They look to the left and they look to the right
The mooses are smiling, they think it's a zoo
And that's why the mooses like looking at you
So, if you see mooses while lying in bed
It's best to just stay there pretending you're dead
The mooses will leave and you'll get the thrill
Of seeing the mooses go over the hill

We also saw a small doe taken down by a bobcat last night. It was right where the deer had bedded down, taken by surprise.
