The initial response of seven radio-collared Moose (Alces alces) to wildfire was investigated to determine if Moose were displaced from the burned portion of their home ranges. Home ranges of these Moose overlapped a 500-km2 fire that burned from 3 May-20 June 1980 in interior Alaska. By comparing relocations and home ranges of animals from May-August of the two years preceeding the fire to data in the year of the fire, we concluded radio-collared Moose were not displaced. Moose selected primarily unburned sites within the perimeter of the fire.
