Back-to-school moose [Coeur d'Alene, ID]
Coeur d'Alene Press ^ | September 30, 2020 | Devin Weeks

A bull moose made an appearance at Woodland Middle School [Coeur d'Alene, Idaho] on Tuesday.

Coeur d'Alene School District spokesman Scott Maben said the students were able to all safely leave when school let out, but release took about a half-hour longer than usual because the moose had hunkered down by the bike rack near the west entrance of the school.

Coeur d'Alene Police and Fish and Game officials were on scene to ensure the animal was out of high-traffic areas. Students whose bikes were on the racks near the moose were assisted by officers. The students gave the officers their lock combinations and descriptions of their bikes, and officers carefully retrieved the bikes without disturbing the moose.

"They had some police help and staff out front to make sure students didn't go anywhere near where the moose was," Maben said.

The moose was still hanging out around 5 p.m. Maben said Fish and Game personnel who normally tranquilize and transfer big game were not in on Tuesday, but with remote learning Wednesday, no students will be on campus to encounter the moose if he decides to linger longer.

The moose attracted attention, as at one point six vehicles with people inside watching it were in the parking lot.

Penny Byers drove over from Post Falls when she heard it was there, and sat in the safety of her car taking pictures of it resting in a cool corner of the school grounds.

“He’s just relaxing, taking it easy in the shade,” she said.

Byers said she wanted to be sure to give it plenty of space as moose can be unpredictable.

It's great things are getting back to normal and we have moose terrorizing our schools rather than microscopic viruses.

Not only did he not bite my sister, he also didn’t bite any of the kids at Woodland Middle School.

Not too close. Frostbite Falls is near Minnesota.

I have one who visits my front yard several times a year just to sit under the trees and chill. I call him my Guard Moose. Watched him grow up from a little mooseling. And yes, I do use my back door so as not to disturb him. They’re peaceful creatures who subsist on a diet of lake plants and tourists.

A woman who lives in Big Piney Wyoming has some wild moose who Vista her regularly.
She sells postcards of her standing next to a huge bull

I would rather take my chances with a mooose than BLM or Antifa.

At least the moose does not call me a racist and try to steal my stuff!
