Canoeing.com Feature: The Decline of Northeastern Minnesota’s Moose
17 Sep
A Minnesota Conservation Volunteer article on the moose of northeastern Minnesota recently caught our eye. A DNR study has confirmed what, until now, had been rumor and speculation; the area’s moose herd is in decline. Of the study’s radio-collared moose, 21% perished. That’s nearly double the national average, and over half of them died from unexplained illness that some call the “tip over disease.”
Author Gustav Axelson set out to learn more and ask the poignant question on the minds of many, “is this the beginning of the end for this classic north woods monarch?” The resulting article is a thorough look into the mysteries and hope that still remain.
