For example, M2 was found sev- eral times near the north end of the Lac Seul burn in September, moved 30 km to the southwest by 24 November, and moved 17 km east to a winter range of 4 km2 occupied between 19 December and 27 March (Figure 4). M16 remained in a 4-km- area between 14 July and 13 December, and then ranged widely. It was found on only four subsequent flights between Janu- ary and April, in widely separated locations up to 10 km from its small original range. For the remaining two Moose, winter tracking data were inadequate. M6 was not found between 21 Feb- ruary and 8 April, perhaps because it had moved to a winter range which was never found by the observers. Tracking of M7 ended in February after the transmit- ter was lost when the antlers were shed. Based on successful locations, we found ranges to consist of 14 and 10 km2 for the M6 and M7, respectively. Habitat was classified with the aid of 1:15 840 aerial photographs. All three Moose in the Lac Seul area (M2, M4, and M8) spent some time in the Lac Seul burn, but they all moved to winter ranges in areas of Black Spruce swamp outside the burn. The one dis- tinct winter range in the Wine-Zizania area, used by Ml2, was a gently rolling area with an open upper canopy of Trembling Aspen and a dense understory of immature coniferous trees. In addition to the use of winter ranges, some Moose had periods of limited movement in small areas at other times of the year. For example, MS was found at.
