AN AGE-OLD QUESTION
• Judging by the inquiries reaching ,
this corner from time td ..'there
there are -many outdoot'smen who,
are anxious to learn how to 'tell
the age of a moose — that mis-she-.
pen' reminder of prehistoric •times
which is fairly abundant in (Jilt-.
ario. ' -
T•he popular. belief is that the
, age' of this animal can be• told by
the. number of points • on its ant• ,
lers —done fair, each year of ,Iife.
!this 'Is quite untrue• because it is
•imhossible•'to determine the age of.
an adult or stib-adult, in this man-
ner, age and . antler growth bear- ,
iTtg.
!toe:relation, For example, . a
five-year-old moose may carry ••se?
• ven or eight points on each blade
of its antlers, or, on the other hand,
it may carry'only four: , Further- -•
More, the number of points on each
antler• are ,not always equel, •which
" wohld confuse the computation if •
it .had any value. And to add the
tottl of:a, pat
r of antlers would of-
• •
ten suggest a.n,agpe beyond the Per-
iod of -'normal .existence. With re-
•fe' nce to• young male :noose, 'he
ease is more or, less reversed, tor
a rising two-year-old usually, ear
ries aepair of, spikes, and a rising
three-year-old, two crotches with
some palmation. The rule,•howeve'r,
is not 'generally or strictly applic•
able as sometimes crotches appear
as the first growth and large area
of palmation, with points,' as the,
second growth.
As far 'ae we know, -there is no . ,
known method of determining .the
ago of moose, male or feniale, with
any degrele of satisfaction or accur-
'aby. Size and appearance "give the'
