Alaskan Moose populations are being limited because of predators that are after them. Mostly Moose are attacked and killed by wolves, black, and brown bears. There is kind of a "Killing" cycle. The black bears snatch Moose calves in May and June. When Moose hibernation is over, brown bears kill calves while they are out of there winter dens. Lastly, wolves kill Moose throughout the entire year! It is the animals not the people that are affecting Moose population.
