Bull Moose

[Troutman10]

We had a visitor in Watertown the other day. A young Bull Moose. NYS DEC think it came from as far as Quebec looking for a mate. It was seen about 30 miles away in Lowville and then on the City streets of Watertown. I wonder if it could have come from the Adirondacks as well since it was over near Lowville. They ended up tranquilizing it (it expired on the 14th hole of a golf course), cut it's antlers off and moved it to the Adirondacks. Below is a picture. Enjoy.

yeah, my mother told me about that, so i had to go to newzjunky and check it out. i liked the picture of it standing in someone's back yard while a cop takes a picture of it with his cell phone.

they said the DEC didnt have a tranquilizer kit and had to wait to get one from the zoo, why wouldnt they have one?

i hunt slightly south of where this bull would have traveled from lowville to watertown. if i saw that guy walking by me in the woods, i dont know what i would do.

this moose apparently died shortly after being released. The DEC found it not far from where it was released the next day.


there was another moose seen in st. lawrence county yesterday morning too. i have never even heard of moose in NY, and now they are popping up all over when they are in rut.

There are moose in the Adirondacks year round, but not too many. It's a shame that the one died recently. I heard it was in bad shape to start. A source close to the DEC said that the moose looked like it was shot once with a gun. Who knows.
