I haven't had much free time this year. So, I got out for only the 2nd time this year earlier this week. I finally found a spot with a lot of deer sign and hiked a few miles around several cut blocks. Didn't see a deer but it was a lot of fun exploring. I walked over 5 miles on Wednesday. I saw tracks of bunnies, lynx, coyote, deer, and moose. In 2 days I saw 4 moose. I know where I'll be next year for spike season because these guys looked to be the right size to be spikes next year...

My question is this; I saw 2 areas 30+ feet in diameter where the snow was completely torn up with moose tracks. There were huge chunks of moose hair scattered around the area. There were 2 such 'circles' within 100 yards of each other.

What the hell was that about? I saw 2 young moose in the vicinity. My guess is they were 'play sparring'. But, that's only a guess. I have no idea.

Thoughts?
