Anita Ovard moved to her small home in this town in the western foothills of the Rocky Mountains because she wanted to see more wildlife.Ovard spotted two baby moose in her yard when she pulled into the driveway Tuesday. She immediately started looking for the mother moose, spotting the massive animal just before it plowed through her storm door and front door.
"There's a big gouge, and you can see where the whole front of the (moose's) body went right through it. It broke the wood frame," Ovard told the Idaho State Journal.
Hoping to stop the moose from doing more damage, Ovard opened the sliding glass door in the rear of the home to give the animal an easier exit and then ran away as fast as she could. The moose, also frightened, turned and ran back out the front door.
Ovard, who is accustomed to finding moose eating from the apple tree in her yard, is laughing about the incident.

stuck in an elevator with a moose and a mongrel
I wonder if the moose injured its leg while escaping.
in a related story...a calf was injured when the moose bolted. What was a baby cow doing there?
