Moose calf rescued from barbed wire fence

The Let's Go Outdoors film crew was in the area when a Fish & Wildlife officer was called upon to rescue a moose calf trapped in a wire fence. The officer shoots into the air to scare off the mother long enough to untangle the youngster. A heart-wrenching experience for all, but it turned out well in the end. The calf headed back to her mother waiting in the trees. This video clip was pulled from Season One of the Let's Go Outdoors television show.

Rest assured, Momma was waiting impatiently in the bushes.

I like the small pause just after the moose is released.

"So hum... what happens now ? Can.. can i.. can i go ? I huu.. can i ?"

I'd have felt a little better if we were shown it got back to momma.

Good thing Nugent wasn't there. He'd have shot it, skinned it and bragged about tracking it down.
