Spencer, Iowa — That moose is still on the loose in northwest Iowa.
DNR conservation officer Joey Yarkosky has covered Clay and O’Brien counties for eight years and says it’s a first for him.
Last week, the moose was photographed on the outskirts of Sioux Center. It appears he made a turn at Orange City and headed east, being spotted in recent days near Ruthven and Gillett Grove. Yarkosky is pleading with the public to keep its distance in hopes the moose can find its way home.
He says not only is it disrespectful to crowd the moose, it’s also dangerous.
