What Is Killing Off the Moose?

Moose populations throughout the lower 48 seem to be crashing. The winters haven't been snowy or cold enough to kill off the winter ticks.

Moose have a hard time if the temperature in winter is much above 20degF. The winters are getting to be shorter and warmer.

Moose were hunted out of most of New England two hundred years ago. Reforestation following the abandonment of most of the farms after the Civil War allowed them to return. And now, climate change is going to push them back north again.
