The fish and game department of Maine
after learning of the tame bull moose at
Scion has sent wardens there to protect
1t from being shot at the direction of one
of the farmers there who claims It as a
pet. The moose will allow any person to
go to it and appears not afraid. The
farmer fears that during open time on
moose that some impulsive hunter may
see it and shoot it. This farmer has had
it two years anu until this year has been
able to keep it in his barn with his cattle
but the animal has taken to roaming this
fall though he will come back at night
time. The farmer got him two years ago
in pond when the animal was nearly
drowned. He has fed him on hay and
Duds. The photographers claim that no
subject in this vicinity has been so much
snapped as this moose and that their
business has increased materially in anna
teur work on account of him.
