A moose that was seen wandering around a neighborhood in Concord has been tranquilized and relocated to western New Hampshire, according to wildlife officials.
NH Fish & Game says it responded to Hall Road near downtown Concord Thursday because a moose was walking around a neighborhood.
The 600 pound moose made several attempts to cross I-93, but backed off after seeing law enforcement along the onramp at Exit 13 southbound, officials said.
Wildlife officials tranquilized the moose in a wooded area, and volunteers from JCB Excavators and Machine Craft helped pull it out of the woods and onto a forklift.
“Tranquilizing an animal this size has varied results, the decision to tranquilize is difficult as it can often kill the animal due to the stress it endures during transport,” a press release stated.
Once transported to the western part of the state, wildlife officials said the moose eventually walked away.
