Curtis Phelps had just taken out the trash on the morning of Jan. 11 when he spotted something heading his way out of the corner of his eye. It turned out to be a large bull moose, and Phelps — knowing the animals can be aggressive — quickly shut himself back inside the shed.
According to Curtis’ wife Amy, her husband immediately called her on his mobile phone — but she ignored the call, thinking it was accidental.
“I had no clue that the poor thing was stuck in there,” she said of her husband, the Associated Press reported.
Curtis, not knowing whether it was safe to come out, then tried dialing his 13-year-old daughter, who was asleep in her bedroom. She, too, ignored her phone.
Amy finally picked up on Curtis’ third attempt to phone his family, at which point she realized he was trapped in the shed.
She eventually confirmed that the moose had made its way across the street, allowing Curtis to run back into the house.
The family told AP that they believe this moose may be the same that was birthed in their backyard two years ago and that he’s been returning regularly to check out his old stomping grounds. He once ate a Christmas wreath, they say. This time, however, he only did minor damage to the shed.
“It’s cracked a little bit," Amy said.

Pretty good sized moose....and, the guy didn’t have a jacket on, as he was just taking out the trash (to shed).

Funny that you should mention that. I won a moose joke contest last year. And all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
Sounds like a repeat offender. Time for some grilled moose steaks.
Moose ain’t house pets.
Wife must have been behind the camera. Probably laughing loudly.
It be-hooves me to be the first to comment on this tail.
Henceforth this family will be known as "The Three Mooseketeers".
No bull!

In the video the moose never does anything the shed. So something does not add up. Is the video edited?

Doorbell video.

Just a lot of good moose venison.
It was a doorbell camera...like Ring cam.
Great quality vid of the poor guy.
“Sorry folks, shed’s closed. Moose out front should’ve told ya.”
