Maine Moose!

The author's family had a summer home in northern Maine and it was memories of the Maine moose that inspired this delightful book!

Primarily we are known for our  Four-Hour Maine Moose Tours (we see moose and other wildlife!),  but several other  fun-filled tours are available at this time, including some that are half-day, all day, and overnights.   We are based in Norway, Maine,  and typically our four hour Maine Moose tours are into areas about an hour's drive north or west.   Right now our half day trips are to Rangeley area and overnights are to Greenville.  (This may change as the season progresses.)

Our Chevy van carries up to seven passengers in air conditioned comfort with plenty of leg room, plus there is a large cargo space in back for extra camera equipment, jackets, lunches, etc. 

Please check our maine moose tour page for more information on tours,  travel time & prices.

We are seeing a variety of Maine wildlife this year.  Aside from moose, we have already seen the bears pictured above, many foxes, a number of hawks, raccoons, a coyote, wild hares, and two bobcats. This is the first year we've seen bobcats!  Early mornings are usually good for a variety of sightings.  Other wildlife we might see in the areas we travel through are eagles, lynx, & beaver.  There have also been several unconfirmed sightings of mountain lions  in one area.

"Josh Moose"
A young Maine moose !

Maine moose are our state animal and our largest wild game animal.  Mature moose are about 6-7 feet high at their shoulders and they can be up to 8-9 feet in length. The cow moose give birth in the spring any time from mid May to early June.  A calf moose can stand and walk very shortly after birth, but actually is able to follow its mother and starts browsing within just 2-3 weeks.  From 25-35 lbs at birth they can weigh up to 400lbs by fall.  Bulls grow new velvet covered  antlers each year starting very early in  the spring.  By  mid to late August their rack is hardened and the velvet is scraped off.  The racks  can be 5-6 ft across.  Number of tines or size & shape of palms varies.  The rutting season is during September into October. There is a Maine moose hunting season each year.  It starts in the northern zone 1st & 2nd week of October. Week 2 also in the southern central zone. In 2008 I believe for the first time there was a hunt along the southern coastal area during the 3rd week of October. Persons interested in the moose hunt must apply for a Maine moose hunting permit.  Permits are awarded by a lottery system. I think this year there may be around 3,000 permits issued.
