After a moose was spotted on the UConn campus, Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is advising motorists to be watchful of increased deer and moose activity along roadways.
The moose was spotted strolling the streets in Mansfield and later on the campus in Storrs on Saturday, May 8.
DEEP says the sign of the moose out and about is normal as the months of May and June mark the birthing period for deer and moose.
DEEP’s Wildlife Division urges motorists to be aware during this period of activity and also slow down and drive defensively should a large animal, such as a deer, moose, or even a black bear, be spotted on or by the road.

Be watchful of increased deer and moose activity along roadways, especially during early morning and evening hours, report moose sightings to DEEP
Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) advises motorists to be watchful of increased deer and moose activity along roadways, especially during early morning and evening hours.
May and June mark the birthing period for deer and moose. Although Connecticut s moose population mainly resides in the northwestern part of the state, they can be seen in eastern Connecticut. There are two times of year in which moose become highly active, during spring when last year’s offspring disperse from the female seeking out their own habitat and during the breeding season (also known as the rut ), running from mid-October for moose through mid-December for deer.

Connecticut’s environmental protection agency is warning motorists to be on the lookout for moose on the road this spring, particularly during the early morning and evening hours.
The alert comes a little more than a week after three people were hospitalized after their car hit a pregnant moose in Goshen, killing the animal and its unborn calf.
During the months of May and June, moose and deer go through their birthing period, a press release from the state’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said Tuesday.
