More moose than ever are believed to be living in Spokane and Kootenai counties, according to state biologists.
So many moose are in the Inland Northwest that the giant, generally gentle creatures are increasingly making homes in terrain once considered unlikely habitat, including the wheat country of the Palouse.
Mount Spokane and Mica Peak now have upward of one moose per square kilometer, according to recent research conducted by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. This means more moose than elk in some parts of Mount Spokane, but still far fewer than the number of deer in the area, said David Volsen, a biologist for the agency.
"Many people who have lived in Spokane a long time don't realize we have moose around here," Volsen said.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....................
Grain fed moose meat! Probably nice and tender too, if you smoked it for about 12 hours at low heat over hickory...
;D
