Description
Summary:Summary data for selected body parts, internal organs/tissues, and long bones of twelve (6 female, 6 male), 11-month-old moose (Alces alces americana) from Ontario are presented. These data characterize morphometry of moose which are approximately 6 months older than those killed legally as calves during autumn hunting seasons and which are 6 months younger than moose killed as yearlings. We describe how these data can be used to assess compliance to selective harvest regulations when investigating officers are presented with incomplete harvest evidence.
