FWIW, Northern MN adjacent to Ontario had a viable harvestable moose population in the 1980's and early 1990's but ticks, weather and wolves combined to decimate the population. At our NW MN deer camp in the 1980's we often saw more moose than deer during our ten day deer season. Now hardly ever see a moose. They still exist in NE MN and North Dakota to the west but none in our area anymore.
