moose populations

[kyddo]

just wondering if anyone out there is from saskatchewan,canada and has any info or has heard if the moose populations are rebounding from the tick infestation of the past years.

Where I live is open for draw, residents only. I have seen a lot of moose this spring after a rather hard winter. The tick infestation 2 years ago was hard but I think there are more that scraped by than were lost. I have also seen quite a few moose being brought to our local gamecutter. I'm not a wildlife biologist, but I think that maybe a year or two of light hunting presssure will have things back in order. Just to give you an idea, this was the first summer w/o drought. The feilds are full of lush healthy feed and the elk I shot in Sep, was fat and very healthy.......and scrumptious too . Yesturday I was muzzleloading for white tail and a I jumped a cow moose, she was fat and thick and her fur was dark and shiny...........to me she looked quite healthy.

Hope this helps

I have seen quite a few healthy looking moose this fall, and lots of cows with calves so I think the moose are making their comeback
