A rare bull moose has been sighted in Northeast Nebraska. Officials with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission are asking people to stay away from it if they see it.

A moose was spotted Tuesday October 4 near Dixon, Nebraska about 40 miles south of Vermilion, South Dakota. This follows one report of a moose sighting September 26 south of Platte Center in Platte County and another recently near Wayne in Wayne County.

“Commission staff will periodically monitor the movement of the moose as it explores rural areas of northeastern Nebraska,” said Karie Decker, the Commission’s interim wildlife division administrator. “It is expected that if the moose, as with most wildlife, encounters a more urban area, it will pass through to more rural environments.”

The Commission urges the public to keep a safe distance from any moose, and especially not approach it. Even if moose appear to be docile, they have been known to become aggressive. Moose hunting in illegal in Nebraska.
