Caution

As this isn't the first moose we've had on the streets of Bismarck, I'm sure you know the drill. Don't approach/disturb the moose. Though I know how tempting it is, do not hold up traffic to gawk at the moose.

Exercise caution. These are very large animals that can be aggressive when they feel threatened.

If you see the moose, feel free to report it to ND Game and Fish and/or the Bismarck Police Department. That said, typically, we must wait for the animal to wander out of town on its own.

FYI

The last "Moose on the loose" incident occurred as recently as June of this year (2022).
