Rare Bull Moose Spotted in Putnam County

Well, here's something you don't see every day in the Hudson Valley…a MOOSE! And we're not talking about a little one!

A large bull moose has been spotted roaming eastern Putnam County near Starr Ridge Road in Brewster, just about half a mile from the North Salem town line.

Yes, an actual MOOSE hanging out in our backyard!

Moose sightings are pretty rare in this part of New York, although the state's Department of Environmental Conservation estimates the statewide population could reach as many as 900.

And while this guy might look like he'd make a great selfie opportunity, wildlife officials say KEEP YOUR DISTANCE!

October is part of moose breeding season, which means these massive animals can be especially unpredictable and aggressive.

So, if you're driving around Brewster or North Salem, keep your eyes open. You never know what might be crossing the road!
