EXTERNAL FACTORS AFFECTING BULL MOOSE VOCALIZATIONS AND VULNERABILITY TO HUNTING
A study was conducted on the relationships between bull moose (Alces alces) vocalization activities, weather conditions and vulnerability of bulls to hunting. Vocalization behaviour was studied in the Pac National de la Jacques-Cartier (Québec) between August 15 and October 31, 1984 and hunting stat...
