A spate of incidents between humans and defensive moose has left hikers on edge and prompted officials to urge "caution and common sense" in one Colorado mountain town.
According to a news release by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, six moose incidents have occurred in the Rocky Mountain towns of Fraser and Tabernash since January 28. The towns both serve Winter Park ski resort, where we reported on a wayward moose on the loose in late January. In the first occurrence, a man was walking with two dogs on leash on the Fraser River trail, a hiking trail that connects Fraser to Winter Park, when he encountered a cow moose with her calves.
