DNR Officers Help Lost Moose In MI Upper Peninsula: Photos

MARQUETTE COUNTY, MI — Michigan Department of Natural Resource officials helped a young bull moose find his way in the Upper Peninsula.

Officers and a biologist guided the moose down a two-track, away from a road and around large amounts of snow in Marquette County until he was able to go off on his own, officials said.

"The moose was tired, but in overall good condition," DNR officials said. "Spring will hit the U.P. soon, young moose!"

Officials also warned members of the public not to approach or touch a moose.

"Our staff are very experienced and understand the risk when approaching these animals," DNR officials said.
