Moose Mystery Challenge

The "End of the Trail"–sort of: This will be the last of the detailed updates on B8164. We wish to Thank all of our sponsors, schools, and website users for their continued support and interest over the last four years in the Minnesota Moose Mystery.

Where do we go from here? We will continue posting movements of B8164 and D0982 and research updates on the website. Dr. Warren Ballard, renowned moose biologist, has been contracted to summarize the four years of data collected. He received the data last August and has one year to complete analysis. We will continue to monitor moose with active radio collars until the radio transmitter goes off the air or the moose dies; however, we will not be checking the animals as frequently as in the past. If a moose dies we will locate it, take a tooth for aging, and try to determine cause of death and condition of the animal at the time of death.
