The moose don’t take kindly to unwanted visitors in Boulder County!
Chris Devlin was on a hike in the Colorado mountains, when he stumbled upon a car being rammed by a bull moose.
The videographer captured the incident on camera and left a note for the car owner, explaining what he had seen happen to the car.
According to Boulder County Open Space, it is moose rutting season and moose will often act ornery and aggressive!
Rut, also known as mating season, is here for elk and moose. The season lasts through mid-October for elk and early October for Moose. Mule deer mating season peaks from November to December.
Getting too close to wildlife can be very dangerous, especially during the rut. The rule of thumb is to hold your thumb up over the animal at a distance. If your thumb covers the animal’s body entirely, you are likely a safe distance away.
And it’s also worth mentioning…never feed wildlife and never risk your safety to take a photo of a wild animal.
