Moose in Wisconsin

[Cabin4]

Anyone hear about the moose many sightings in northern Wisconsin ?

When I  hunted deer near Three Lakes people told me about a moose that was seen quite often. I saw tracks one time while deer gun hunting but that was about ten years ago. Moose aren't common but there are a few around.

we had one young male over by antigo about 5 years ago.   as far as there being a moose around birchwood lately, i aint heard squat and i am sure i would have heard someone say something by now.  not saying that it isnt possible;  just that this is birchwood and like any other small town everyone knows everything that happens shortly after it happens.    i would bet you that half the population knows how many times i used the can today!     on the east shore of chetac by highway f is practically in my yard.  but on the otherhand,  there is a hugh chunk of forested land there.     definatly possible.

myronman3,

thats the palce i was told the moose was seen a number of times. it was seen hanging around by the dumpster at what used to be the old crystal spirings resort. do you know earl lordy ? he has the nice ranch home with the huge eagle painted on the gable end facing hwy f. earl says hes seen moose a number of time over the years there. i know a few of the  people that own cabins they bought from earl years ago. earl not only told me but also the other folks there.

me i never saw one. i did along with about 10 other people run across an elk over by cable wis while snowmobiling. yes an elk !  i kid you not an elk. i think it was a planted by the dnr or something to see how they would do. this was about 3 years ago. it was a spike elk no big rack.

i quess i was woundering if the dnr was messing with the idea of bringing moose back like they did with elk in Penn. we now have enough elk that there is a lottery drawing for elk tags.
