Moose can quickly turn on you, so it’s alway best to keep your distance if you encounter them.

They will approach humans and homes out of curiousity, but they are also protective of their territory and young. Check out these guidelines from Colorado Parks and Wildlife on how to avoid and minimize dangerous moose encounters.
