CT residents report moose on the loose in Bristol
A moose was on the loose in Bristol Sunday morning, trotting around the city and making its way to Muzzy Field, according to multiple reports by residents.
Paul Copleman, a spokesperson for the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said that the department was notified of a moose in Bristol but were not taking any action involving the animal.
Copleman said that there are between 100 and 150 resident moose in the state of Connecticut.
“This is the season when they’re often moving around a lot, some of them can move 5 to 10 miles per day,” said Copleman.
Typically, moose are found in the northern and northwestern part of the state, but its not completely unheard of for a moose to make its way toward central Connecticut in this season, DEEP said.
Bristol police said Sunday morning that they had not received any reports of moose sightings.

Though DEEP works to warn drivers when there are moose sightings on major highways or in high traffic areas, they hope that Connecticut residents are able to safely catch sight of the animals.
“Most of the time we hope folks get the opportunity to see and enjoy them, but recognize that they’re big and they should keep their distance,” said Copleman.
Moose can pose a danger to drivers when they wander into traffic because of their size, often ranging between 400 and 500 pounds, said Capleman.
“If they are hit by vehicles, often the full brunt of their weight is hitting the windshield,” he said.
