Moose thanks rescuer with a lick after being trapped in Halloween decorations

A B.C. man got a bit of a scare, followed by a rare treat, when a moose became entangled in Halloween decorations this week.

Shaydon Soucy and his wife Sydney were driving to a friend’s house in Fort St. John in northeastern B.C. on Saturday when they spotted a man using a tube to try to pull Halloween decorations out of what they first thought was a tree.

“I looked at my wife and was like, what in the heck is [he] doing,” Soucy said, before realizing: “Oh, wait. That’s a moose. There’s a moose with Halloween decorations on its head.”

The bull moose, which has been seen by people in the Airport Subdivision neighbourhood in recent weeks, had got some black webbing and a decorative skull stuck in its antlers, and was shaking its head trying to get it off.

That attracted some would-be helpers.

A Møøse once bit my sister.

TastyWheat,

No realli! She was Karving her initials øn the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law, an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies.

m0darn,

The moose was like:

would this fence help you guys feel safe enough to actually help?

festus,

It probably also made the moose feel safer.
