...according to some the ticks are more prolific because of the global warming and that they love moose blood. They are finding dead moose carcasses with hundreds of thousands of ticks on em.

Property #2 update

I was up at property #2 today talking to my builder, when he said, "Did I already tell you about the moose tracks?"

"No," I replied. "There are moose tracks? Where?"

"They're . . . Why don't I just show you? he said.

We walked downstairs, out the garage door, and no more than 50 feet -- still in my driveway! And there they were, a dozen or so of the biggest damn deer tracks I've ever seen. Very cool!

I asked him if he had seen moose before and he said he had. "They used to be very common," he said. He believes that ticks have been killing them off. I don't know if that's plausible or not. He also said that these tracks are not from a particularly big moose - which makes me wonder how he knows that they're from a moose at all and not from, say, an elk.

I intend to go to the property again tomorrow. If I do, I'll have my camera and will post a picture. Maybe one of you can provide a definitive answer to my moose/elk question.

BTW, I've seen an elk before. I got within about ten feet of one at Yellowstone. (Others in the area at the time said it was pretty stupid of me.) The elk was huge, like a mule. Moose, apparently, make elk look small.
