Maine Warden Service Rescues a Moose on Moose Pond
March 22nd, 2010 categories: Sebago Lakes Region
On March 21st a moose fell through the ice on Moose Pond in West Bridgton. After furtive attempts to break the ice with their airboat, the Maine Warden Service created a small channel leading to shore, but the moose still couldn’t swim freely.
Wardens lassoed the moose and pulled it toward shore.
At last, to everyone’s delight (a crowd had gathered on the Moose Pond causeway and at camps along the shoreline), the moose stood for a moment and seemed to test the firmness of the ground. It then quickly climbed ashore and trotted toward the woods.
