US EditionMoose Evades Capture by Wildlife Officials in Northern Colorado Suburban Park
WELD COUNTY, COLORADO, JUL 15 – The bull moose evaded capture overnight before being sedated and moved to a safer area, marking the third consecutive July with moose sightings in Weld County, officials said.
- On Tuesday morning 2025, a bull moose was seen in the residential area around Grapevine Hollow, close to 65th Avenue, in Evans, Colorado.
- The sighting followed previous moose appearances in Weld County in 2023 and earlier years, with the last Greeley sighting before 2023 occurring in 2018.
- The moose moved north into Greeley's Josephine B. Jones Park Tuesday afternoon, evaded capture that night, and wildlife officials planned further relocation efforts Wednesday morning.
- Authorities in Evans, including wildlife officials, advised residents to keep their pets restrained, maintain a distance of at least 25 yards from the moose, and refrain from approaching or provoking the animal, noting that moose are large and generally unafraid of people, according to spokesperson Kara Van Hoose.
- The moose was sedated and relocated Wednesday morning to a safer area, but officials warned sedation risks overheating and emphasized public safety measures while monitoring the animal.
