Previously logged areas that have been re-planted do not support moose populations

Moose inhabit areas of the world where the four seasons come and go, and with the seasonal change in environment, moose change the areas they occupy. Contrary to popular belief, previously logged areas that are re-planted DO NOT support moose populations. At first (after logging), the browse available is good and moose will take advantage of these areas in the spring for a few seasons. Once newly-planted trees begin to grow, they very quickly choke out the available browse, leaving poor moose habitat. Once this happens, moose will not utilize the area. Areas that naturally seed themselves will see more moose utilization for more spring seasons but these too will eventually be abandoned by moose. We seldom see moose in a growing cut block. Yes, the moose will use these areas in the spring, until the new growth inhibits the nutritional browse growth, after which the moose will not make use of them.

 

During the fall season, you are going to have a much higher success rate of seeing moose if you look in the unlogged areas. This may entail moose calling, still hunting or stand hunting. Finding wetlands that are within or back onto the unlogged areas will be a good help too. Moose will avoid human contact. If an area is getting a lot of traffic, whether it is vehicular or by foot, they will move to areas that are undisturbed. To be consistently successful in harvesting moose you need to find these secluded areas of moose habitat.
