PLEASE DON'T PET THE MOOSE!!!!
This PM (Friday, Nov 26th) while driving to N. Conway on Rte. 302 through Crawford Notch, we came across a gathering of vehicles and "whiteplaters" all gathered around a young moose. We even saw someone try to pet it as we drove by. If you were in this crowd, shame, otherwise:
1). Moose are wild animals and can act without any warning, so do keep your distance.
and
2). Route 302 IS NOT A ZOO so please don't pet the wild animals. Not a good idea.
I'm probably preaching to the choir here when it comes to these pointers.
We're thinking that the animal was either scared (and not moving away) or had brainworm.
