Apparently There Was A Moose LOOSE In Bismarck Today

Here is the info I came across on this late Thursday afternoon...

...somewhere in Bismarck a MOOSE was on the loose. I was forwarded this breaking story from a co-worker - she saw it on the Bismarck People Reporting News Facebook Page. Our radio station is a decent-sized building - with a cluster of 5 radio stations all in a row - here on the strip in Mandan.- At first, I called DIBS on this story, but I didn't have a whole of information, and that's when My Facebook messenger work group lit up with a sea of comments about this errant, LOST? moose - Enjoy

"Another moose on the loose... "

"She's coming for Andi's sammich!"

Andi

"Bahaha"

Rick replied to Rebecca

Rick

"The moose was in my development earlier this week"

Andi

"He’s about to be a disappointed moose. Sandwich is long gone"

Steve

"Wait 5 minutes, there'll be another"

Rebecca replied to Rick

Original message:

The moose was in my development earlier this week.

"So is it in the Acker freezer now...asking for a friend... moose chili sounds delish"

************ This is when I told everyone...

BROMO - I'm going to have a hard time coming up with 250 words for this story*

Andi

"How many moose sightings in past 5 years? Moose puns, what to do when you see a moose, how big is a moose compared to a car? How do they capture or shoo a moose? — I feel like that would be something to see. Idk… helping"

Andi

"The difference between mousse and moose lol"

Rebecca

"YES!!! Pun the crap out of it!"

NOBODY seemed to enjoy my comment

Bromo -"Does a moose use mousse on his or her fur?" That's my title

Andi

"Does he eat chocolate mousse"

Rebecca

"DID YOU KNOW?? Moose are one of the meanest?? So besides the jokes about "don't pet the fluffy cows aka bison"... Don't freak'n go near a moose!! I've personally turned my horse around when hunting just to not cross paths with a "known" moose. Very Mean... Better eaten as chocolate mousse..".

Rick

"Did you know I did the most cringeworthy thing as a parent ever with a moose. Before knowing they are dangerous animals I sent my 8,9 year old son out of my truck to take a picture of a cow moose next to the interstate near Grand Forks. There was the 4 feet interstate fence separating them but the moose let him walk right up to him and take a pic. I still cringe over it today. Why I will never win a Father of the year award."

Rick

"Thank GOD nothing happened. Not a big game animal hunter and thought they would be like a cute deer. I was educated later."

Rebecca

"Thank goodness that turned out okay... Ya - Bromo... People seriously otherwise DO NOT know how dangerous moose are. I report on them for my outdoor show all the time as hikers cross paths and aren't so lucky."

Andi

"I also didn’t know they were mean until I moved out here. I’m like das a fat deer, me pets lol"
