Talk about being in the moose lodge, this is wild!! When this little
guy was young; he lost his mother too soon. So the Fish and Game brought
him to Wendall and Debbie. They asked them to get him raised to a safe age
to turn him loose again. So they bottle fed and took care of him; after a
while they fed him with their cows. So eventually he was a year
old and it was time to turn him back into the wild. They opened the
gate and off he went. He stayed gone all summer; then in
the fall he was back with the cows. He really thinks he is a
cow. All were happy to see him as he is pretty friendly. He
loves honey buns and will eat them right out of your mouth. Wendall and
Debbie live right up in the mountains and it came time to bring the cows
down ... the moose was lonely all by himself so he headed down to find
another herd of cows to hang with. The neighbors called about a
week later and asked Wendall to please come and get his Moose. So he
headed out with a honey bun, a bucket of grain and the horse trailer and brought
him back home. The moose is free to go anytime he wants but is choosing to
stay put for now. Surely, come spring he will start to feel a bit like a
male Moose and take off .... but, for now he is happy.
