A young moose trapped in a horse paddock followed a B.C. woman to freedom after other rescue attempts failed.

Shauna McAllister had just poured her morning coffee on Oct. 27 at her ranch north of Clinton, B.C., located about 230 kilometres northeast of Vancouver, when she noticed a set of furry ears that weren't like the others.

“I thought, that's not my big horse. What is that?”

She put on her slippers and housecoat and found a large, juvenile moose standing on her fenced-in property.

Shauna McAllister is not sure how the moose got into her property, and was not sure how to get him to leave. (Submitted by Shauna McAllister)

“I think his hump was at least six feet tall. And he had these big, long floppy ears like a donkey and the typical moose goatee … and a big rounded snout.”
