From the Minnesota PDF:
Moose, a Minnesota wildlife icon, have experienced a steep decline in population in recent decades, dropping from around 4,000 to approximately 100 today. Moose become stressed by temperatures above 57ºF in summer and above 23ºF in winter. Climate change could eliminate the Minnesotan moose population entirely within the next several decades.
Flashback
OSLO, Norway, April 19 (UPI) -- Biologists say there are now record numbers of moose in Scandinavia -- the greatest population since the Ice Age.
2011 Minnesota Moose survey estimate here: About 4900 moose, more than the estimates for 1998, or 1999, or 2000, or 2001.

Any decline in moose is caused by the increase in wolves.
