A moose was on the loose in Bristol Sunday morning, trotting around the city and making its way to Muzzy Field, according to multiple reports by residents. Paul Copleman, a spokesperson for the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, said that there are between 100 and 150 resident moose in the state of Connecticut. 'This is the season when they're often moving around a lot, some of them can move 5 to 10 miles per day,' said Copleman. Typically, moose are found in the northern and northwestern part of the state, but its not completely unheard of for a moose to make its way toward central Connecticut in this season, DEEP said.
