Wyoming golf: Moose gone wild

I’ve seen lots of wildlife on the golf course before. Just this year, I’ve seen wild turkeys, deer, fox, groundhogs, turkey buzzards, bald eagles, herons, Canada geese (of course) and many others I can’t recall right now. For the most part, these animals pose no danger to golfers.

But did you catch that story in late June about the resort in Wyoming where three young moose sauntered onto the premises? They took a dip in the pond at Little America Hotel and Resort and in the end, state workers were forced to tranquilize them.

Now, I’m no moose expert, but I think these can be quite a danger. I recall a video I saw one time where this poor old guy was walking out of a grocery store and into the path of a pissed off mother moose and her offspring. She stood up on her back hooves and beat the dude to death. It seemed over the top, but hey, I guess that’s how moose roll.
