The local cow moose with calf is making her annual visit to town, we have received a few calls about people approaching her and she is certainly not tolerating ...anyone near her calf. We would like to remind everyone that moose are very protective of their young and by getting in her space you are asking for no less than an attack. Fish and Wildlife Officers are working to push her out of the area, but in the meantime PLEASE GIVE HER SPACE!! If you see her return please call the RAP line at 18006423800 (or message me and I will make sure John is aware of her location) let's do our part to keep them wild and safe! NO ONE IS SHOOTING AT THIS MOOSE...IT IS CALLED AVERSIVE CONDITIONING, SIRENS BEAR BANGERS AND OTHER LOUD NOISE TO TEACH HER THIS IS NOT A GOOD PLACE FOR HER TO BE!!! See more
