The bull moose of Voyageurs: 2023 #Video

Here is a montage of the bull moose we captured on camera in late summer and fall this year. Impressive creatures! And these are just the videos of bulls whose antlers were visible in the videos.

Our cameras are set only a few feet off the ground at most to get good footage of wolves, which generally means that when a moose goes by we often only see the bottom half. And we didn’t think folks would be interested in a 3-minute montage of moose wee-wees…

All this to say, we got more videos of bull moose than this video shows but you couldn’t see their antlers. Also, this only contains videos through end of October since that is when we last downloaded footage from our cameras so likely got more footage after that.

Anyway, it seems like we definitely saw more moose—bulls, cows, and calves— on our cameras this year than any previous year, which could suggest a little bump in the population but hard to know. Could also simply be due other factors such as camera placements, number of cameras out, etc.
