Moose and elk attacks prompt warnings of potential aggressive wildlife DENVER – Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials are issuing its annual warning to avoid elk, moose and deer that have newborn calves and fawns this time of year. The alert was prompted by a pair of recent conflicts resulting in injuries to a pair of elderly men – one in Steamboat Springs on May 29 and the other in Evergreen on June 3. Although both incidents were not believed to be sparked by irresponsible behavior, they do serve as examples that wildlife are just that, wild, and they can act in unpredictable ways. CPW reminds the public to respect wildlife and their space, especially at this time of the year.
