The plural possessive of "moose" is "moose's" instead of "mooses'" because "moose" forms its plural by changing its internal structure (irregular plural). "Moose" does not add an "s" when pluralized, so the possessive form simply adds an apostrophe followed by an "s" to indicate ownership by multiple moose.
