The moose that was on the loose in Chubbuck. | Idaho Fish and Game<\/p>\nCHUBBUCK \u2014 Officials successfully removed a moose from a Chubbuck neighborhood Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
According to a news release from the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, they were assisted by City of Chubbuck Animal Control officers and other city personnel to respond to a report of the animal in a Chubbuck neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Fish and Game says staff were able to tranquilize the large female moose and remove it from the backyard of a home located off of Whitaker Road, south of Vern Road, and west of Hiline Road. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe moose was successfully released to a remote location with suitable moose habitat away from people and motorists,\u201d the release says.<\/p>\n

This is the second moose to be removed from a neighborhood in southeast Idaho in less than two weeks. On Oct. 10, another moose was relocated from a Blackfoot neighborhood.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes when moose find their way into developed areas, we can wait it out and see if the animal moves back to where it came from, away from people,\u201d says Regional Wildlife Manager Zach Lockyer, Southeast Region Fish and Game in the release. \u201cHowever, when moose are in the heart of neighborhoods or commercial areas near busy roads, it is sometimes necessary to relocate the animal in the interest of both public and wildlife safety.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fish and Game reminds the public that, although they may appear awkward and clumsy, moose are strong and quick animals known to charge people and pets, especially when protecting their young. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf you encounter moose on the trail or in your neighborhood, remember to give them plenty of space \u2014 never approach moose, and keep your pets from doing the same,\u201d the release says.<\/p>\n
