Tips to Stay Safe Around Moose

While both agencies are navigating the best course of action to capture the moose safely, the Evans Police Department wants residents to remain safe with these tips:

• Moose can be unpredictable and dangerous, especially if they feel they are threatened.
• Keep all dogs on a leash to prevent disturbing or being injured by the bull moose.
• Avoid approaching, taunting, or feeding the moose.
• Do not gather in groups to witness the moose in the area. Groups of people can cause stress and agitation, which could create a dangerous environment for the moose and the surrounding humans.
• Do not attempt to approach the moose to get a selfie with it or try to feed it.
