NSHM Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I have heard that deer have a parasite that is called brainworm that doesn't affect them but is deadly to moose......so if there are a lot of deer and moose in an area it could be a problem.

You need to start selling some pictures, get paid for what you love to do and not what you don't. Hope to see you at the Summer Gathering, not too far from Causapscal.
