Canmore moose enters downtown, gets shown the door

Posted by The Mountain Man, Saturday, January 24th, 2009 at 11:05 am

CANMORE, Alberta – Canmore is one of my favorite towns in all of the Canadian Rockies.

It has cool restaurants, AWESOME scenery, some shopping and while touristy, doesn’t go overboard.

So imagine seeing a moose wandering in downtown Canmore!

Yes, it does happen. Just a few weeks ago, a wondering, stessed out moose ventured into downtown Canmore.

The moose was tranquilized and removed and released near Pigeon Mountain. Those of you ne to our fine area should know not to EVER approach or get near a moose. They, like most wildlife here, are dangerous and you run the risk of being trampled or charged.

Moose are gorgeous, but they are not Bullwinkle.
