So the moose spent the night in the neighbor's backyard. You can see how young he is, but he will be a large one... just look at that hump on his back.
So, here's the riddle: How many Fish and Game Wardens does it take to move a 600 lb. young bull? Hint: it takes a gun and a red dart with sleepy medicine.
Answer below.
This whole process went quite smoothly. Our moose friend slowly went to sleep. One of the guys braved approaching him and patted him on the butt to make sure he was out. Then he removed the dart. They tied his eyes shut and his hooves together for protection for them and him. Then loaded him up in this make-shift guerney to relocate him to a more moose-appropriate spot. I was impressed with how gently they were with him. Today this guy should be happily rejoined with the rest of his herd who apparently live fairly close to us. Hopefully he will live a long and happy life and survive hunting seasons to come.
