John,

I talked to a biologist today and he stated that this was very unusual behavior for this time of year......he's seen moose breeding in a northern game unit here at the end of Nov.-early Dec., but never this late......he also stated that even if there was a breeding of one of the cows, a calf born in August wouldn't make it in all likelihood.

John, usually, this time of year, the moose are just trying to find something to eat while expending as little energy as possible.....we've got little snow and it's really been unseasonably warm so the moose are having a much better time of it than normal......I would agree that one of the cows was coming in estrus......pretty interesting stuff.
