NathanHunters
There was only one assumption that Plucas had at the back of his head. He believed that this female moose’s mother was definitely killed by hunters. Since the attack left the baby moose in such a shock, he was sure that that calf was in search of safety. So it soon ended up on the property of the farm to get away from the merciless hunters. The calf was injured as well.

The Call
The only thing for Plucas to do next was to call experts for help as he was not trained to medicate the calf. So he immediately called Animal Services after he carried the baby moose inside the house. However, an unfortunate thing happened because they could not offer any help until the next day. The calf was in his hands to be cared for during the first night.
