  1. In addition to Utah, Colorado successfully introduced Moose on the Routt NF (North Park, Walden, Colorado) with 12 moose in 1977 (trapped in Utah) & another 12 in 1978 (trapped in Jackson Hole), From these 24 animals, there are now several 100. All 24 were release in the southeast park of North Park that is adjacent to the northwest part of Rocky Mountain National Park. At the time, Wild Kingdom did a two part TV series, with Merlin Perkins. It was a contentious issue between cattle & dude rancers.

  2. Is any of this rangeland what used to be for the wild horses? I know under the old administration there was a plan to exterminate the wild horses in favor of big game. What a shame.
