They sure have, haven't they?  I must have missed the bear encounter
(yikes!), but I thought the handling of the moose encounter should have made
national news on how to do it right!

Saundra asks:

"Does anyone know the outcome of the deer vs town encounter?"

 

I was wondering myself.  I didn't hear of it until I got home from the
Officer Newbill Safety Fair (which was well attended despite the weather --
Thank you, Moscow!), and -- from the traffic on the radio -- it sounded like
the renegade ungulate was just biding her time, taking it easy and staying
curled up in that doorway, as Carl intimated earlier.  Maybe she was just
thirsty.  I hope we see something tonight in the Daily News.

 

While historically there have been poor results in this type of situation (I
recall a deer falling into a silage pit up on campus and having to be
euthenized), it seems that Moscow's Finest have been able to quell any
disastrous outcomes during recent encounters (a bear and a moose come to
mind).  I hope this ended just as happily, with our four-legged friend
ambling off to greener pastures, so to speak.
