Ecology and Management of the North American Moose: The largest of all living deer, moose in North America range across a road band of forest and glade that extends from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains, into Alaska, and as far south as Colorado. Prized by Native Americans and incorporated into their cultures, moose also were hunted by successive waves of European settlers. Nearly eradicated by the turn of the century, the continent-wide population has rebounded to an estimated one million, and the moose has become a ubiquitous symbol of the untrammeled northern wilderness.

The most comprehensive book ever published on the North American moose, this abundantly illustrated volume fully explains moose biology and ecology and assesses the increasingly complex enterprise of managing the species. Twenty-one wildlife biologists and researchers discuss moose taxonomy, reproduction and growth, feeding habits, behavior, population dynamics, relationships with predators, incidental mortality, and seasonal migration patterns. They analyze the effect of new strategies of moose habitat and harvest management – including the planting of late-winter cover, hunting regulations, and aerial and ground-level tracking methods. They also describe immobilization, handling, and translocation practices and discuss the future of moose management.

Increasingly, both human and wildlife requirements must be taken into account when scheduling hunting seasons, setting moose population goals, devising strategies to divert moose from roads, or enhancing moose habitats. Written by many of the world's foremost authorities on the species, Ecology and Management of the North American Moose offers wildlife managers, biologists, researchers, mammalogists, hunters, photographers, and the conversation-minded public a wealth of timely information about the status, distribution, and natural and life histories of these fascinating mammals.
