About the species
Moose are the largest deer in the world, with mature bulls in interior Alaska weighing over 1,400 pounds and carrying antlers that span 70 inches across. North American populations occupy the boreal forest zone — Alaska, Canada, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and the upper Midwest plus reintroduced herds in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. They're solitary outside of breeding season, browsing willow and aquatic vegetation in summer and conifer browse in winter.
Most moose hunts in the Lower 48 are once-in-a-lifetime draw tags. Alaska, Canada, and Maine offer the most accessible general-season moose opportunities. The rut peaks in late September and produces the loudest, most aggressive moose behavior of the year — bull grunts, antler thrashing on willows, and rapid responses to cow calls. A bull moose down means days of meat care work in country that's rarely close to a road.
