Do the moose in Alaska have a problem with ticks? In the Northeast there are ticks that infest moose, especially young moose during the winter. Moose have been found with countless thousands of huge blood engorged ticks on them.
. The first took place at a garbage dump close to Big Whiteshell Lake Resort, at Big Whiteshell Provincial park. We used to go to the resort for years and my aunt Jan would often bring her boyfriend and stay a night or two with us. Well, we decided to visit the garbage dump to watch the bears, a common activity around the parts. Sadly, she, in her low slung car in the 80's, hit a rock and damaged her oil pan, so my dad decided to have her park at the faaaaar end of the dump where no bears were. He slid under the car, telling us, if we saw a bear approaching, yell and he'd pull out. SOme smart aft - probably my aunt - after waiting a while, yells 'BEAR! '. I've never seen two grown men move so fast. Turns out it was a prank and there was no bear approaching. LOL!
I saw a deer wandering across the street here in Windham Maine outside the Lowe's store last week. We have a lot of deer but nothing like that picture of all those elk (?)! We have lots wild turkeys here. I think they're cool especially when the mama is being followed around by her half grown babies. They come to my bird feeders sometimes and eat the seed that gets knocked to the ground. Such HUGE birds!
