Ask An Expert About Moose
Do you have a moose or moose hunting related question? Ask an Expert!
I never really considered myself an expert at anything, it just seems that over time I have kept accumulating knowledge about moose... it just kind of came naturally to me.
Admittedly, I am a moose addict, just ask anyone who knows me. As a matter of fact a well-known TV Hunter/Host who I have never met (except by email) recently referred to me as "The Moose Man".
That moniker has stuck too! A lot of my friends refer to me as the "Mark Moose Man"... actually I kind of like it!
I have begun to realize you do not need a degree or diploma to be classified as an expert... You just have to have the answer to the question, or the solution to the problem.

When I created All-About-Moose.Com, I began receiving emails; all varieties of questions, comments and suggestions regarding moose.
I had no idea that I could contribute so much for so many people. The many thanks that I have received for the responses to these requests have been overwhelming. It is always good to pay something forward, you know; help and be helped, so...
After fielding many inquiries I decided that others... you... could also benefit from these requests and answers.
