Consider banning moose hunting? Scientists have been unable to find the cause of the dramatic moose population decline in regions of Canada and across the United States. They speculate the causes may be many- from global warming to parasites- in an attempt to explain why moose are dying at an unprecedented rate across North America.

I thought they concluded that severe tick infestations have been responsible for killing off most of the young moose born the past 2 or 3 years?

That's what I remember reading

Moose die from a variety of causes - tics, predation by bears and wolves, old age, standing in the middle of the road after dark. Just not clear to me why anyone would hunt a moose. It’s not as though there is a need to control their population. Moose hunting looks as challenging to me as shooting a dairy cow in a meadow. I agree with the person that wrote that global warming/cooling has probably been occurring long before smokestacks, auto exhaust, and farting cows, and it won’t be solved by all the green energy bullshit.

Moose hunting is very difficult. The brush you have to get yourself through is literally the exact opposite of an open meadow and you have to haul a half ton animal out of the woods if you are able to tag one.
Why even try to speculate on that?

From what I understand, scientists are finding twice the normal amount of tics on dead moose. But go ahead and find another reason to say " global warming".

Do you think it is possible that climate change is causing an explosive population growth of ticks?
Patient_Total7675 t1_j16dqa5 wrote
Idk. Maybe? Maybe not. Tics live in winter as well. I've heard this, but I don't know for sure. Just love how people think that's the reason for everything, and that we can somehow change it. The climate is changing,as it always has and always will.
