Good point. Female moose are indeed moose cows.

It probably would have been better if, when referring to the bovines the hunters were disappointed to see, I had called them cattle. But “cows” is what they said. (Maybe they meant moose cows?)

I think that’s a real reason! One that has more force the more time you spend in the forest. If you don’t kill the white moose, then there will be white moose to see — ghostly white moose shimmying through the trees!

I suppose the same applies to the purple moose with polka dots.
