Title: White Moose on the Loose!
Post by: SERGIO VENNERI on October 27, 2009, 07:25:00 PM
I called this rutting Bull out on Sept.29,09 .He was in full rut and only took a couple of cow calls to bring him out. He is part of a small herd of  protected White Moose about 55 miles west of Timmins.I have also seen a couple of cows and a calf over the years.

May be a silly question, but why are the white moose protected?  Just curious.

Hi Tom;
            This small herd is near Foleyet, close to the groundhog   river.Good to hear from you.

Bob; The white moose are protected because of their rarity i suppose.The fault in that kind of management is that you can shoot a brown Moose in the same unit and it may be carrying the recessive gene.

Hey, if he was quartering away a bit, you could aim at the "spot"!

Get rid of the shoulder hump in that pic and he'd look like a horse at a glance.

Thanks Fella's; Here are a couple more pics.   (http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x132/recurvehunter_2007/P1010596.jpg)These are some pics hanging in a restaurant in the little town of Foleyet.   (http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x132/recurvehunter_2007/P1010595.jpg) Heres a pic of My brotherinlaw Paul,standing next to a mount of a white Bull, that was mounted after a collision with a train.Paul does not hunt , but is probably the best Walleye fisherman that i know!!   :notworthy:    
      I should clarify that these are not albino's,i believe they are probably piebalds.

Great picture!!

Last weekend while driving back from my last hunt of the season, right along the road, was a herd of elk. In the herd was an albino cow elk. The neat thing was how the other elk tried to protect her by keeping her in the middle of the herd. When they would take off, she would always be in the back. When they'd bunch up, she was back in the middle.

I need a new camera   :banghead:    :rolleyes:
