Moose have long been present in the State of New York. Historical records suggest that moose were present north of the Mohawk River as far back as the Pleistocene. Due to unfettered forest harvest and market hunting, moose were deemed extirpated from the landscape by as early as 1861. During this time, moose were also extirpated from neighboring Vermont, but populations persisted elsewhere in northeastern North America. It wasn’t until the mid-1980’s that moose began to take up residence in New York once again, with an estimated 6-11 permanent residence by 1986. Over the next four decades, moose have slowly repopulated the Adirondacks. Current population metrics suggest a small but stable population of approximately 700 moose currently reside within the Adirondack Blue Line.Presented by Dave Kramer, Research Scientist – SUNY-ESF Roosevelt Wild Life Station.
