Moose facts..During Maine's fall
hunting season, the average adult cow weighs 600 lbs (dressed) and the
average adult bull weighs 800 lbs (dressed). Large bulls weigh over
1000 lbs, dressed. The total length of a moose is about 9 feet and
height measured at the shoulder is about 6 feet. The front hoof width
is about 5 inches for a prime bull, just under 4 inches for a cow, and
just under 3 inches for a calf. A bull's antlers spread rarely
exceeds 65 inches and a spread of 55 inches is considered good. Antlers
on cows are extremely rare...The average life expectancy is 8 years for
a cow and 7 years for a bull. Moose may live into their late teens, but
rarely live past 20.
Calves may have small buds by late
September, yearlings may have spikes or small forks, and palms
typically first develop in 2 and 3 year old bulls. Maximum antler
development is obtained at age 5 and declines when bulls are in their
teens.
The Latin name for moose, Alces alces, means elk
and in Europe and Asia moose are called elk. However, in North America,
Alces species are called moose. Four subspecies of moose are recognized
in North America. The eastern or Taiga moose is the subspecies found in
Maine.
