Moose

[Robert McFarland]

Consider putting a moose on your layout.........Como Civic Association has several photos of moose sighted on Kenosha Pass.

I don't think there have been Moose up there previously in our lifetimes. These have either recently migrated or have been relocated. I've never heard of Moose in Colorado in all the years I lived there. Wyoming maybe. I believe I saw one near Broomfield late last year, if you can believe that. For sure there aren't any in Alabama.

Which makes you wonder if there were any back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

There have been Moose around for many years, I have seen them several times on Boreas Pass and once between Como and Hamilton crossing the grade. Scary.

There is a sign entering Como telling hunters to be sure of their targets and not shoot Moose. Quite how you could confuse them with Elk I have no idea.

There was one large one on the D&S High Line in 2007, slowed the train to an amble, not the bothered with the whistle at all.

While camping near the Como cemetery a few years
back a moose casually walked up near my site and made a noise a really can't describe.

We came across this big beast in the Kenosha lake on August 30th coming back from a St. Elmo camping trip!

Last September, after our annual trip to Alpine Tunnel, my wife and I were hiking on the trail/road west of St. Elmo, in the bottom of the valley, next to Chalk Creek.  Returning to the truck between Romley and Golf, we encountered 3 moose.  After the bull got the 2 cows across Chalk Creek, he returned to our side of the creek.  Fortunately, after a few minutes, he concluded we were not worth any more attention, and much to our relief, he moved back across Chalk Creek.  He was a magnificent animal.
