A moose is no longer on the loose in Troy, New York.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation found the bull moose yesterday/Tuesday morning after receiving reports from the public.
Working with local and DEC police, DEC staff were able to "safely sedate" and apprehend the moose. They are currently are transporting the animal back to the wild.
The DEC believes the same bull moose was spotted in Poestenkill, Wynantskill and North Greenbush over the weekend and on Monday.
Bull moose are entering breeding season and sometimes travel long distances looking for mates.
