Biologist pitches new study to aid Maine’s moose herd

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • July 7, 2020

Maine moose biologist Lee Kantar pitched a new study Tuesday that would increase the cow kill during the 2021 fall hunt in half of a hunting zone in northwestern Maine along the Quebec border. Kantar’s theory is that a smaller moose population would lead to an even greater reduction of winter ticks and result in a healthier herd.
