He was probably looking for mooseberry bushes. Sadly, New World moosberry bushes have very poor resistance to mooseberry blight, which was introduced to this continent in the early 1960’s.

Moose are expanding and recolonizing former range as in Massachusetts and New York.

“People who live nearby believe the moose (thankfully unnamed) is now safe and sound, somewhere in the woods.”

I nominate MARTY as the name for the moose! In honor of the film where America’s favorite moose made his first debut: National Lampoon’s Vacation
“ Who’s the moosiest moose we know?

Marty Moose!
Who’s the star of our favorite show?
Marty Moose!
M is for Merry, we’re merry you see;
O is for Oh gosh, Oh golly, Oh gee;
S is for Super Swell family glee;
E is for Everything you want to be.
M – A – R – T – Y;
M – O – O – S – E.
What’s that spell?
Marty Moose!
Marty Moose!
Marty Moose!
(Hyuk), that’s me!”

Sorry about that. Now on to something serious. Moose are very mobile animals.

Hey Jack, I’m from Gadsden, and I was just wondering last night while watching the Giant Bears episode of MonsterQuest if there were black bears in my area. I’ve never heard of any, but I guess there are! Now I want to find those news reports.

This reminds me of an incident that happened to me and a friend of mine about 8 years ago. We were traveling to a gathering and had to cross the Coosa River on the way. I was riding shotgun, and was also very sleepy, when I saw what I believed to be a black bear down on the river bank. When I pointed it out to my friend, he said “it’s just a stump, no black bears around these parts.” (around Gadsden, Alabama). Recently in the news from that same location there have been numerous “stump sightings” with evidence to show, those stumps were black bears. I suppose the one that I saw on the river bank had company.

I’m enjoying the caption! Could also be a sandwich recipe: “bread, bread, moose in the middle…”
