Moose Carcass


We took a trip to a dead moose in the park on the 29th of November that was hit by a car  on November 9th. We went to the dead moose because we are studying animal sign and birds, and during the trip we saw bird tracks and wolf tracks by the dead moose and wolf scat . The moose was very smelly in some places and not so smelly in others. It was a  tremendous walk through snow, ice, water, and brush. The walk was 0.8 miles long one way. We know this because Greg told us.  We saw wolf tracks, moose tracks, moose rubbing, wolf scat, common ravens, magpies, an eagle, eagle tracks, and a dead moose. Jack was leading us with a compass through the woods and only had us off a quarter of a mile, but it was a fun walk back to the van!
