Did You Know?
Mothers with young calves are very protective of their young and will attack if humans come too close. Charges by a Moose may only be "bluffs", warning you to get back, however take this seriously. When a moose does charge, it often kicks forward with its front hooves.
Did You Know?
Cows (the female moose) commonly give birth to twins or even triplets, usually in May-June. Offspring are completely weaned from Mom in about 5 months but will stay with her for a year.
Jackman Maine Travel Stories by Visitors
We are in search of great stories and tales about your visit to the Jackman region, to post here on our JMRRCOC Website. We want others who have not been here yet to experience our little piece of heaven in some way and perhaps to know what they may expect to see or do when they get here.
Almost every visitor to the Jackman region has an experience to share: did you try something you never did before like white water rafting; or maybe see a cow moose in a bog with her young; or catch a big salmon that you fried up for dinner on the campfire; or maybe this was your first buck you got after hunting for 20 years. Your story could even be as simple as the wonder of sounds you hear as you sit on the shore of Big Wood Lake as the sun comes up. No story is too small or unimportant.
Please, take a moment and share with us your experiences, your knowledge of the great north woods, maybe a little bit of Jackman History, or even tell us about your favorite restaurant. Your entry could win you a FREE 2 night stay for 2 at one of our great lodging facilities in the Jackman-Moose River Region.
We added a story contest for the month of November which is called the “Hunting Tales” contest. This will be posted on November 15th, 2007, the day of the Hunters Supper and Breakfast but entries are also available here as well as at the Chamber booth for the month of November. This contest will have the same rules as our story contest and all entries will be eligible for the free 2 night stay. The one winner chosen of the "Hunting Tales" contest will win a 2007-2008 Coupon/Raffle book plus be eligible for 2 night’s free stay with a JMRRCOC member.
