Elk Gone Shopping

The owner of gift shop in Estes Park, Colorado left his shop door open and a bull elk wondered in. The elk browsed around for 45 minutes. Finally some officials lured it out with yummy apple treats. The elk returned 10 minutes later still looking for that perfect gift.






A moose in Hailey, Idaho went on an open house tour. While the family was out a moose fell into their 3-foot window well and pushed her way through the loose latch on the large swinging window. The family returned home to find this female moose staring up at them from the bottom of the basement stairs. Two hours later several Fish and Game officers arrived, tranquilized her and carried her up and out of the house. Before this she was not going to leave her comfortable new home. And she was quite calm about it.
