A very large animal got stuck in a New Hampshire pool Tuesday night -- and was not a-moosed.
A young bull moose waded into the backyard pool and couldn't climb out for hours, because it didn't have stairs.
Officials from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department swooped in to save the moose, eventually coaxing it out of the pool by placing a wooden set of stairs underwater.
After emerging from the water, the moose took off into the woods.

The guys were herding him with a rope, but there were stairs they were trying to coax him towards.

I didn’t think it was legal to have a pool without stairs.

I don’t know about NH laws.........maybe it was an old pool.
There’s no pool like an old pool........................

I believe that the building code in New Hampshire for pools reads “What’s a pool and who needs one?”
To: ridesthemiles
Exactly. There are laws about fences and safety so you’d think steps would be a requirement.

Well, ja. She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: “The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist”, “Fillings of Passion”, “The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink”.
