Moose visit yesterday!

Flylady · 10-14-2014, 02:02 PM

This moose swam across the cove from the north and passed through my place continuing south. Feeling so lucky to be here to see him.

Could be an issue with size. Check your picture size. I believe 1024 X 768 is the maximum allowed.

Flylady · 10-15-2014, 10:30 AM

Any way to reduce the picture size?

SteveA · 10-15-2014, 10:48 AM

FlyLady,

There is a free application you can download. Easy to use, you simply drag the picture to the desktop icon and it will resize your picture to the size you want.

If you have a problem, I'd be happy to resize the images for you if you email them to me at, steve.anthony@metrocast.net

I believe you can upload any size pic you want, the forum will automatically reduce picture size when posted.

That's a nice looking Bullwinkle.

With the number of moose in the state on the decline there may be a day when this will be a very rare sight.

Winopt · 10-15-2014, 09:07 PM

Awesome! Thanks for making the effort to post the pictures. Where did this take place?

upthesaukee · 10-15-2014, 09:24 PM

That is one big moose. Thanks for your perseverance in getting them posted. good job, Flylady.

dippasan · 10-17-2014, 12:00 PM

Awesome animal!
I love seeing them on a lake...I hate seeing them on the road.

We saw a moose yesterday but she was strapped down on a utility trailer. Must be moose season. I know we have to thin deer herds and we see deer all the time but I didn't think we had that many moose. I've only seen one moose in my life and it was a close encounter in the woods that I will always remember. You were so lucky to have seen it.

SIKSUKR · 10-23-2014, 07:47 AM

The estimate for moose in NH is around 4500. Last year 275 lottery permits were issued. That number yields aound 180 moose taken on average. The population was at a high of 7500 5 years ago up from a low of 13 in 1900. Seems like they are managing them pretty well.

They are, but one thing they cannot manage is the tics which have as of late been a real problem for the moose. There is mounting evidence that the tics are doing a number on the population, how that shakes out long term remains to be seen, but it's certainly not a good trend.

topwater · 10-27-2014, 09:34 PM

However, the wife and I were out for a drive and stopped in the Moose check in station in New Hampton and one of the Fish and Game wardens told us the state pretty much cut the amount of tags for moose in half this year. he didn't really want to get into a deep conversation about why.

Misha888 · 10-28-2014, 11:08 PM

pic taken back in April on Varney Point. Stalked the poor thing to the beach. I'd love to see a bull, though I'm not picky.

I appreciate the share. ANything and Everything in the wild, is wild!

I'm more concerned with what the ticks are doing to the human population. It is amazing how many folks have Lyme disease these days.

tis · 10-29-2014, 06:51 AM

It is amazing how many people have lyme disease. We have two family members with it and friends and every time it is mentioned somebody tells of someone else who has it. It is like an epidemic.

MikeF-NH · 10-29-2014, 08:25 AM

While I'm not 100% sure and am not an entomologist, I believe that the only tick that carry Lyme is the deer tick and the ticks currently impacting moose are "winter tick". I'm not sure of the difference.

I also heard that the reason for the drop in tag count was because of high calf mortality due to stress caused by winter tick. The state manages each separate wildlife management unit for moose for specific numbers. when those numbers are exceeded, it results in many more "moose to car" incidents...often fatal for both parties. They seem to know what they are doing in managing the herd.

I don't imagine the herd will improve until something can be done about the ticks. With limited budget, I think Fish and Game will just have to let nature take its course as it eventually corrects itself. When moose numbers drop to really low...the ticks will begin to lose "hosts" and their numbers will drop and the moose will rebound. I would unscientifically guess this will take several to many years.

tis · 10-29-2014, 11:04 AM

According to what we have been told and always heard, you are right. The deer ticks are the ones that carry lyme.
