Moose in Fargo is tranquilized and transported to a wildlife refuge

Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - For the third time in about a year, a moose was on the loose in Fargo! The latest happened this morning near 45th Street and Interstate 94.

Fargo Police started getting calls just before 6 o'clock from people who spotted the young bull moose wandering around. It finally cornered itself in the courtyard of the Mainstay Suites.

That's where an area vet was able to tranquilize the animal. They then waited for the drugs to take affect and loaded up the animal in a trailer.

The moose was tagged and brought to a wildlife management area near Erie where it was released. Last September two moose wandered into the metro, one in Moorhead, the other in West Fargo.
