When a moose got stuck in mud, Maine biologists and wardens scrambled to try to save it

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • July 13, 2020

Maine Game Warden Jonathan Parker had planned to spend Saturday with friends, enjoying the Maine outdoors. Instead, after an angler discovered a cow moose mired in the mud of Pushaw Stream, he spent the day up to his waist in muck, helping a team of would-be rescuers as they tried to save the animal’s life. The moose didn’t make it — but not for a lack of trying.
