Moose have a very keen sense of hearing and hunters must be very quiet and patient while hunting. The prime time for moose hunting is dusk and dawn. This is when they do most of their travelling. Moose are often spotted near a tree line adjacent to a small open bog. Moose can swim as fast as two men paddling a canoe and run up to 56 mph on land. Moose can live 20 years or more in the wild. Moose meat is delicious to eat. (The taste resembles beef)
