Why You Should Go To Moose Tours And What You Get Out Of It

By Deborah Russell


Wildlife tours are one of the most satisfying and picturesque things to do when out on a trip with family and friends. This is especially fun for kids. So for those with little sports, it is recommended and highly educational to go and watch these animals in their natural habitat.

There are a lot of things to do during these nature tours. One of the most famous places to watch these species of deer are in Maine. Maine moose tours are accommodating and fun. It is perfect for first dates, if you are running out of great ideas. They are incredible animals after all.

There are chances that you might get a sight of them while driving in one of the routes in the state. But you would have to admit, this might not be a pleasant or safe scenario. Going on a tour is the safer option since you get to be provided with a guide that knows the ins and outs of the area and so much about the creature that is being observed.

One huge achievement for photographers, professional or hobbyist, is getting a great picture of the animal in its natural environment. Many great pictures of male moose with their majestic full antlers is something anyone who took the shot would be proud of. This is probably one of those things you can brag about when you get back to the city, and for good reason too.

These antlers can reach up to six feet and 40 pounds each antler. It is just right that they are the largest in their species. Most of the males start growing their antlers at around May tho July. While most people would say that they are best spotted at dawn or dusk, you can still find them at any time of the day as long as you are at the right spot.

To see bulls with fully formed antlers it is best to go during fall season. This is because they shed these in November to December while new, larger ones start growing during spring. The best way to catch this sight is by reaching out to a local safari service in Maine that know what time and when these elks go out.

There are about 5 famous spots to catch a sighting of elk in Maine. The first one being The Rangeley Lakes. There is also Carrabasset Valley that can be for canoeing. Moosehead Lake will have the creature likely appear at the wallow. There are just so many places where you can catch them.

These animals are drawn to certain locations due to their diet and behavior. Roadside wallows is great spot to hang out in if you want to catch a glimpse of them. This is due to the puddles and ponds. You can tell these places apart because there is often a trail that leads away from the main road.

These elk like animals, while they may look the same, are generally peaceful but they react violently when threatened. They may either run away, pretend to charge or worse, actually charge at you if they are bothered enough. Try not bothering and staying at a considerable distance when viewing a nursing cow too, they are very protective of their babies.
