Moose trapped in Ottawa backyard tranquillized, taken back to woods

It looks that way to me from the photo. I'm going by length of the legs,color,size of it's ears and nose shape. If all I had was a calf tag,I wouldn't be taking a chance on this one.

I would agree and do the same thing, let it walk. I was just curious if anyone else thought it was a cow and not a calf. Thanks

but nice they did a good job and didn't just end up another blast and cover with a tarp story.

FYI- the Ottawa region- thanks your generous tax dollars has its own squad- check the article online - unlike anywhere else in the country- they have staff- because money is never in short supply - after all it's the tax collection capital.

I agree. Looks like a yearling cow. I wouldn't shoot that for a calf. Then again the only calves I have shot were standing beside their mothers.

Taking a close look at the release photo,there isn't an OMNRF uniform in sight. H-m-m-m-m..........

MNRF's job is not tranquilizing and relocating moose. They are here to manage the herd in Ontario, not an individual . In the end this is a public safety issue and the responsibility of the police.

Anyways, thats a cow. Theres no question; look at its face.

Article says a calf?? Is it just me or does anyone else think it's a cow. The old snout looks pretty long for a calf.

It's a yearling calf. It would still take a Cow tag at our camp.

I hate the term "yearling calf". There is no such thing. Its a calf, or is a cow (....or a bull)
