N. Ontario
I'm living in N. Ontario (but in school right now in Ottawa). This herd is about 120 miles to the N.E. of Sault Sainte Marie .
"White phases appear in many Deer species so I can't see why Moose would be any different."
- This is a very interesting observation that I may not be able to answer to your liking. From what I understand, white deer in the states are much more frequent because they typically result from inbreeding.... brought on by huge open farmlands in between small plots of woods... Not so with the white moose, and so they're much more rare..
Also, i've seen lots of white deer with white fawns, but I've only been able to identify 1 strain of white moose (the ones in my area) that have white calves ... No idea . Any white moose in BC having white calves?
Blktail,
I'm very interested to recieve any documentation you could possibly find me regarding the white moose of BC. Such as how many are there left (that you know of) and how many were there. I'm also very surprised to hear that a native shot a white moose... given that they're sacred to the tribes in N. Ontario.
