HEBER CITY, Utah, June 7, 2025 (Gephardt Daily) -- Heber City Police and agents from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources responded to a Friday morning call, and found a moose standing in a residential driveway.

"Around 6:45 this morning, Heber City PD responded to reports of a teenage moose wandering through the neighborhood near 500 North and 100 West," says a statement issued Friday by Heber City Police.

"The young moose explored the area for about an hour and 15 minutes, likely a little lost and curious.

"Officers worked closely with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DNR) to monitor the animal and ensure public safety."

The moose was eventually tranquilized and given a free ride to a new wilderness home, the agency said.

"Thanks to teamwork and patience, DNR was able to safely capture and relocate the moose to a more suitable habitat."
