Moose Ends Up in Swimming Pool, Had to be Coaxed Out by Local Officials

New Hampshire Fish and Game biologists and local conservation officers helped coax a moose out of a swimming pool Tuesday night in Bedford. Officials said the young bull moose accidentally found its way into the pool and was unable to get out after several hours, in part because the pool had no stairs. Officials say crews at the scene placed a set of wooden steps into the pool and slowly coaxed the moose toward the stairs until he was able to climb up and out. Video released by officials showed the moose scampering off into the woods. Officials shared the video on social media as a reminder that the moose breeding season is beginning to ramp up, as bulls like the one that got stuck in the pool are searching around the state for a mate.
