The very first obstacle was removing a course so they could get their ATV to the area the moose was at, which was two kilometres off the highway, this took over a hr by itself.
Eventually, when they took care of to situate the moose, they understood how negative the situation really was,” I wanted to the side and all I saw was a head. I said ‘Divine Jesus, this point is truly stuck! He’s not stuck, he’s hidden!'”.
