Nevada plans state’s first moose hunt as unusual southern expansion defies climate change
Published: , in Outdoor News
In what will be a tiny big-game hunt for some of the largest animals in North America, Nevada is planning its first-ever moose hunting season this fall.
Wildlife managers say explosive growth in Nevada moose numbers over the past five years, increasing to a population of more than 100, justifies the handful of harvests planned. Scientists say the experiment of sorts should also provide a real-time peek at how the complexities of climate change affect wildlife, and why these majestic mammals the size of a horse have unexpectedly expanded their range into warmer territory.
