Conservation officers had to tranquilize a young bull moose on Saskatoon’s west side Wednesday morning.
The officers were called to the 2400 block of 33rd Street West by Saskatoon police at around 8 a.m., the Ministry of Environment said.
The moose had previously been spotted hanging around in green spaces in the city earlier in the week, and officials said they hoped it would move on.
