(Milford)-- It's something that certainly doesn't happen often in northwest Iowa or southwest Minnesota, but a young bull moose is making the rounds in the area. Steve Reighard of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources says the moose was last seen this (Fri.) morning west of Milford near the Little Sioux River.

Reighard says the moose is protected under Iowa law and that if you see it, you should just leave it alone.

He says motorists should be on the lookout as a moose can cause much more damage than striking a deer.
