At times yes,,, Ontario "sometimes" gets some nasty snow falls that might be caused by the lake affects or how the storms roll in,,, Eastern Canada is one cold place. Ha.
It seems that Moose are pretty resilient at weathering the conditions of a loooooong winter,,, purhaps it's harder on Deer and Elk. I don't know this fore sure.
The first heard of Elk 19 didn't fare the winter at all,,, same for the 2nd transplant,,, both failed miserable.
Yes, Elk were present in Ontario 1000's of years ago,,, but mother nature changed things,,, either the lands or the critters them selves.
I'm not sure how many transplants the Government did across the province of Ontario,,, the heard up here was wiped out in 2010/11. "A guess on my part on that one.
We spotted some massive Moose on the way into camp, that's a good sign of things to happen.
