It is in this area in Målselv in Troms that the horse was shot. Moose shot in zoo This is not the first time that the moose hunt has not gone quite as planned in Indre Troms. In 2016, the right animal was shot in the neighboring municipality of Bardu, but this was not an elk to be hunted. They were in a fenced area in the Polar Park zoo.
