| Summary: | Records of moose (Alces alces) from southwestern Montana around the turn of the century are rare. Recently, moose herds in the Gravelly and Snowcrest Mountains have expanded, and controlled moose hunting has been instituted. Data on the moose of this area have been limited. Much information has been gained in neighboring areas from studies by McDowell and Moy (1942) in the Absaroka MOuntains of Montana; and McMillan (1953) in Yellowstone National park; and Bassett (1951), Rudersdorf (1952) and Harry (1957) in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. None of these studies are completely applicable to, or adequate for, moose management in the Gravelly Mountain area. |
