- rolph 4y agojust the gravel dust, attracts them, if there really salt deprived they will lick the road, you can really tell who uses salt in thier drivway or not as well, and you have to be carefull about it if a moose gets hit or becomes a behavioural problem, you can get fined for wildlife attractant, if they put 2n2 together.
- jcadam 4y agoThere's a moose cow and her calf hanging around my property since the spring. They are not scared of my ferocious labrador.
- rolph 4y agoyard moose, theyve lost fear of humans and dogs, and may become defensive and territorial about your yard, especially a cow with calf. your describing the setup for most moose stompings. These are not docile pets, dont turn your back or get between them
- jcadam 4y agoI know. Not sure how to convince her to move along somewhere else. She wanders between my 2.5 acres and the neighbors around me. Price of living in the woods, I guess...
- rolph 4y agoone of the most effective ways is to use your yard alot, and control the entrance to your shoveled plowed area, mainly its the sun, and the easy path through. unless you have willow, or orchard trees...
- 0x38B 4y agoRoads tend to be clear of snow, making for easier walking for moose in wintertime. I read that in deep-snow years, moose may get annoyed if you make them leave the road or trail. I was skate skiing on Anchorage's Coastal Trail when I came upon a moose in the trail. I was going to go by him, but as I approached he turned and made a heavy step in my direction. I waited for him to leave.
- jcadam 4y agoHad to bail when I was coming down a hill while classic/nordic skiing on a trail in KPB - moose standing right in the middle of the trail. Figured it was better to throw myself into the snow off the side of the trail rather than run straight into the side of an adult moose :).
