Moose rescued from skate park

?resize=1200%2C900

KETCHUM — A year-old moose had to be rescued Saturday after it got stuck at the skate park, authorities said.

Someone reported seeing the moose stuck in a bowl about 8:30 a.m. Saturday .... The walls were nine or 10 feet high and the moose couldn’t get out.

Fish and Game officers shot the moose with a tranquilizer dart. After the tranquilizer kicked in, Ruckle said, they put the young moose on a pad they attached to a Fish and Game truck, hauled the moose out and let it go.

my son was really into that. He would watch movies and I found the sound and the rhythm to be very relaxing, like listening to ocean waves.

I was just happy to hear that they captured the moose and took it back to the wild.
