Ontario Moose Hunting
The town of Dryden is known for lumber, as well as fishing and hunting. Where trees have been cut down, forestry companies plant millions of saplings to replenish the forest. Before these young trees grow to any size, the land grows grasses, berry bushes and softwood trees with incredible speed. These plants become a banquet for Moose, as it's their favorite food.
There are four species of Moose found in North America. Moose found in the Dryden area are Eastern Canadian Moose, Western Canadian Moose and hybrids between the two. Bulls are common over 800-pounds with many reaching as big as 1300-pounds. On occasion Moose as big as 1500-pounds have been harvested in Northwestern Ontario.
