A moose attacked a Colorado hunter Tuesday during his attempt to shoot the animal with a bow.
The man was in a remote area of Larimer County’s Poudre Canyon when he shot at the animal with his arrow. When he missed, the animal charged him, attacked, and inflicted life-threatening injuries, according to the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office.
After being attacked, the man was able to send a distress alert on his GPS just before noon. A separate group of hunters helped the man leave the campground to meet sheriff’s deputies. He was subsequently airlifted to a nearby hospital.
