FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Washington Emergency Services and NH Fish & Game Rescue a Moose Trapped on Ice On January 3, 2012 at about 10:00 am the Washington Police Department responded to a report of a moose trapped on the ice on Butterfield Pond at Pillsbury State Park. The moose had been on the ice about 70 yards from the shoreline for over 24 hours, but due to the lack of snow cover could not get any footing to move across the ice. NH Fish & Game as well as Washington Fire & Rescue were requested to assist at the scene. As the young moose did not appear to be injured but merely exhausted from struggling to get up, a rescue plan was developed. With the Fire Department members wearing rescue suits as a precaution, Conservation Officers Bill Boudreau & Eric Hannett were able to place a sling attached to a rope around the moose and they, along with firefighters, were able to slide it to the shoreline. Once to solid ground the moose was able to stand on its own. Eventually it was herded away from the ice and into the woods of the State Park.
