True story. this happened to us!
We were asleep one night this past fall when our dog began barking furiously downstairs. A young calf moose had been brousing on some pyracantha which had overgrown our window well. We had to wait until 8:00 AM to report it to the sheriff’s department of animal control. They in turn called Fish and Game.
We soon had 3 trucks, one of which was a winch truck And 7 or 8 people in the driveway while Mama Moose retreated up the wood road, keeping an eye on what was going on.
THe calf was tranquilized, then two men got down into the window well with a cargo net. They managed to get it under the calf and then winched it up. They carried it to the driveway and released it from the cargo net. We had pictures .taken with it before they tagged it and then reversed the tranquilizer.
In very few minutes the calf was up on its feet and heading up the wood road to be reunited with Mama. It was quite e the morning!!!
Good story.
Pyracantha will do it every time. ;-)
