DENVER — Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials are reminding Grand County residents and visitors “to be responsible” around moose after several recent incidents.

Wildlife officials said there have been six reports of incidents involving defensive moose between Jan. 28 and March 7 in and around the town of Fraser and the Tabernash area. One incident involved a man walking his leashed dog on the Fraser River Trail. CPW said a moose charged at the man, who sustained minor injuries.

In a separate incident in the Tabernash area, wildlife officials said a charging moose stomped and killed a dog. No human injuries were reported.Here are a few simple things to remember when living with and viewing moose, according to CPW:If you encounter a moose do not hang around. Leave the area as quickly as possible, giving them space and time to move. Do not try to move the moose as it could be dangerous, and it is also considered harassment, which is illegal.
