A fisherman in Wyoming was charged by a cow moose last Saturday on a river in the Bighorn Range.⁠ ⁠ He shot and killed the moose at close range, according to a news release Wednesday from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. Officials say the confrontation occurred on the North Tongue River in the Bighorn National Forest in classic moose habitat: a thicket of willows along the river corridor. Although the cow was already dead by the time game wardens arrived, they found two young-of-year calves nearby that they believe the cow was defending when it charged. Both calves were euthanized (as they likely wouldn’t have survived on their own).⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #wyoming #moose #fishing #fishingtrip #fishingseason #cowmoose #mooseattack #bighornnationalforest #outdoors #nature #outdoorlife⁠ Story by: dac.collins
