Now that she was a fully-grown moose, Plucas knew that she could probably fend for herself, but that didn’t necessarily help him with the worrying. Plucas recalls those times vividly, “I remember those first nights she didn’t come home… Oh, I barely slept. But she grew up, I had to get over it. After all, it was my goal from the very beginning.”
