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.
