Abstract

Thirty one of 386 (8.0%) moose (Alces alces) which were ear tagged with in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, were recovered over a five year period from outside the Park. Young bulls represented the highest percentage returns and emigrated the greatest distances. Inferences regarding direction of travel and optimal refuge size are discussed.
