The same thing happened with a 3 year old cow moose in Calgary yesterday.
Tranquilizer darts don't have a huge range - you want to get close enough to have the dart stick, and not have it fall short and maybe scare the poor thing even more.
I'll post more in another thread - just wanted to point out that sadly, tranquilizing is not always possible, and not as easy as it may sometimes sound.
