## Caption

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).⁠
