We were all very excited tonight when we came across this yearling moose and its mama. The yearling was much bigger than the full-grown white tail deer we are used to seeing. And the mama moose was HUGE! We've wanted to see a moose ever since we moved to NH, and we finally saw two a month before we move.
Maybe you don't want to tell your kids this but you see more yearlings this time of the year because the mother is trying to loose them as it is time for them to be on their own. Or at least that is what I have been told.
@joansmor We were told the same thing on the moose tour we took last night. Saw 9 more moose, including 3 big bulls that were just starting to get their antlers.
@digitalrn Last night, we realized that we've been to tons of zoos and parks, but haven't seen any moose at them. Lots of elk and deer, though. So, we were excited to see our first moose. Now we have seen 11.
