Wandering Moose Takes to Mini-Golf Course
LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) -- A yearling moose wandering through town has decided to stay a while to enjoy the shade and water of a miniature golf course.
"He was headed somewhere when he came in here. We're hoping that he takes a rest and one of these evenings returns to his journey," state Game Warden Roger Bredehoft said Friday.
Laramie sits in a wildlife corridor between the Laramie and Medicine Bow ranges, and big game frequently are seen in the city, he said. While antelope and deer are common, moose are less often seen.
"These young moose like this one are looking for new areas, or looking for new moose or territory or females or something, and there seem to be a lot of animals coming through for those reasons," Bredehoft said.
The moose has spent several days at Oasis Mini Golf on the city's south side. If it doesn't move on, the Game and Fish Department may have to sedate and take the animal to the Snowy Range west of town.
"We'll probably try to move it before long, see if we can get it out of there," Bredehoft said. "Right now there's no problems with it whatsoever. It hasn't caused any problems."

I can't help it. I like the little windmills.

Well, that really cleared things up.
You can't shoot moose there?
No. But you can shoot Lions, Elk, and Oddfellows.
Heh-heh. Who can blame the moose? Mini golf is so FUN!
