Here's a story sent to me in an email...
When this moose was quite young; he lost his mother too
soon.
The Fish and Game brought him to Wendall and Debbie. They
asked them to raise him to a safe age and then turn him
loose again.
So they bottle fed and took care of him; after a while
they put him with their cows. They named him Buddy.
Last Spring when he was a year old ... it was time to
turn him back into the wild. They opened the gate and off he
went.
He stayed away all summer; then in the fall he came back
to be with the cows.
He probably thinks he is a cow. Everyone was happy to see
him and he is quite friendly. He loves honey buns and will
eat them right out of your mouth.
Wendall and Debbie live right up in the mountains so it came
time to bring the cows down.
Well the moose was lonely all by himself so he headed
down to find another heard 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, 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.
