View Full Version : Trophy Moose Shot At Brainard Lake
Kinda like hunting cows.
I have no problem with hunting but taking an animal in an area with heavy foot traffic? Brainard Lake is a mad house on the weekends.

Hunter faces backlash after killing moose in front of wildlife watchers near Brainard Lake
WARD, Colo. - There's growing controversy about a bow hunter who shot and killed a moose over the weekend within feet of several wildlife watchers.
The incident occurred near Brainard Lake in the Roosevelt National Forest, not far from the town of Ward, Colorado.
The outrage stems from how and where the moose was taken down, near a popular trail where several witnesses were watching as it happened.
"These are basically pets," said Kim Lehman, a campground host near Brainard Lake. "They're tame. They're not afraid of humans at all."
So when one was taken down by a bow hunter just feet from the road, it touched off a firestorm of social media rants.
"There's no hunt in that kind of kill," said Lehman.
"This was a trophy hunt," said Virginia Miller who is also a campground host.
After the bow hunter hit the moose, it ran through a willow brush and eventually dropped near several wildlife watchers.
"I don't think it was the gentleman's intention to have the animal go in the direction of where the wildlife watchers were," said Jennifer Churchill, spokeswoman for the northeast region of Colorado Parks and Wildlife. "Forest service land is huntable. And this was a clean and legal kill."
"Nothing illegal at all," said Miller. "Totally unethical and immoral."
"It's like going into a zoo and saying, 'Wow, I like that lion. I'm going to kill him,'" said Lehman.
Churchill says despite the fact there were witnesses, the kill was completely legal and the hunter had a valid archer tag for moose. One of just 260 moose tags issued in the state of Colorado this year. Nearly 19,000 hunters applied.
"It is unfortunate that there were people in the area who witnessed this and were offended by it," said Churchill. "But it's also important to understand that we have multi-use lands in Colorado."
Lehman hunts and fishes herself.
"That's not hunting," she said. "Hunting is when you go out and sit in the woods and wait for them, or track them or be part of their environment and take them down."
"People saw that. People were enraged," said Miller. "People were stunned. People were traumatized."
Churchill insists the hunter did everything by the book, and in fact, there were CPAW officers nearby who noted it was a clean and legal kill.
"If he had waited, he may not have had another opportunity to take this moose," said Churchill. "We are talking about, kind of, a hunt of a lifetime."
"My hunting was always for food, and we ate everything we killed when I was a kid," said Lehman. "And this was obviously a trophy hunt."
"He was 10 feet away when he shot him," said Miller.
Churchill says Colorado law states bow hunters must be within a certain distance before taking a shot, and they must also be at least 50 feet off any road or highway.
"The sport was taken out completely," said Miller.
"Moose have no natural predators in Colorado," said Churchill. "Hunters help manage wildlife populations. We would not have wildlife in Colorado were it not for hunters."
It's tough to get a moose tag. Guess everyone shoulda looked the other way.

A great ambassador for sportsmen and shooters indeed
Perhaps the tree-huggers should stay out of the woods during hunting season - so as not to be offended.
Congrats to the hunter.

Don't hunt any more, never was a trophy hunter. But the guy did it legally. I don't really care if it offended a few people. I wouldn't have done it but he doesn't have to live by my rules..just the DOW's.
I want a moose steak, I like elk, haven't tasted moose yet.
Moose berry berry goood, bettr'n elk.
Picts? No YouTube? Damn hippies are getting lazy. Probably won't even riot and steal shit afterwards...
Sounds like everyone who was offended about how tame the moose was, only have themselves, and people like themselves to blame.
Stop turning moose into pets, morons.
They're complaining that there aren't enough predators. Sounds like it's time to bring in the wolves. Enjoy, hippies!
Good for him. Those who are pissed can suck a fat one. The lands are multi-use. They should blame themselves for walking in the area during hunting season, for not know it is a huntable area, and for wildlife watching as the animals only get used to people walking the area. If you want to watch wildlife, go to a designated park where they don't allow hunts and instead pay people to kill animals for population control...real effective use of our dollars.
its bad enough it is so hard to get a moose tag, now you have to get criticized for it and called a trophy hunter...call it what you want but I bet that guy has worked his ass off finding moose, putting in year after year only to get denied a license and now these assholes want to get pissed at him for it. Good for the hunter and fuck the tree huggers. I hope some moose blood stained their clothes.

Ehhh they were pissed he shot it but they are talking about a dangerous animal as if it was a pet! People are so stupid! I love when stupid people get too close to wild animals and get what they deserve... Kinda like that grizzly guy that was living with them! Sooner or later nature takes it's course! I can't wait to draw my archery moose tag!
I definitely wouldnt like an audience like that though! I'm not saying it made hunting look real good but sounds like he did his homework to find a nice moose he could get close too..,
and tell me more about the certain distance ? Sounds kind of like that whole high capacity magazines thing!

Article in the Denver ComPost quoting mostly one person who sounds like a PETA-loving granola-eater. I'd like to get the other side of the story. Sounds to me like he shot the moose elsewhere and then it ran and fell in front of the huggers. That's a big difference from shooting it in front of them.
Sounds like a great plan actually. Just hunt near where people feed and pet the animals all year. Hell, I feel like I could hunt the prairie dogs by my house with a golf club.
If only my local golf course would give me rights to hunt geese and ducks. Win-win for both of us!

"Hunting is when you go out and sit in the woods and wait for them, or track them or be part of their environment and take them down."
True. That's why this guy was in the woods... you know... where the moose live.
Why were all those other people in the moose's habitat? If they weren't there to hunt, they were there to ruin a hunt. nature watchers? more like obstacles to real wildlife management.

frickin tree huggers,
1. if he took the meat out as required by DOW then it was not a trophy hunt
2. just because the tree hugger thinks this moose is his pet, doesn't make it so
3. the frickin moose was in the woods, not his back yard, how was this not hunting????
4. i really wish i could prepare the tree hugger's next hamburger from scratch, I mean take the live cow to his back yard and whammy, here's dinner
these people seem the think that everything in the grocery store just appears there.
5. just because the aniumal is wild does not mean that it has rights beyond the legal requirements from the state. what do they think people lived on before grocery stores???
OMG you killed an animal AHHHHHHHHHH
6. so because the animals frequent the area your not supposed to hunt there, guess what, that is the reason to hunt there, go hunt moose in downtown denver, that is more sporting cause your less likely to find one????
^^^ All of the above. ^^^ And damn, I didn't draw a bull moose tag in area 20 for this fall even with 14 years of preference points.
I've considered if and how I might take a moose near Brainard or other areas where there are a lot of people. It's a tough call and I wouldn't want to be in that hunter's position. The upshot of the "outrage" over how and where the moose was taken is that CPW might close all the Brainard Lake road area to hunting within 1/4 mile of the road, like they did in the Laramie River Valley from Chambers Lake north. Trouble is, that's where the majority of the moose are, in the riparian area where the forage is.
Oh, and 7News Denver can take their manufactured outrage and controversy and stuff it up their channel!
And, let's examine the disparaging comments by the two (gay) campground chicks. One claimed to hunt and fish. Yea, right, prove it, sweet cheeks. I'll wager she has never hunted in her life, or not since childhood. Clearly, she has no understanding of what hunting is from her comments about trophy hunt, moose being pets, and "that's not hunting". To call it "totally unethical and immoral" is falsehood based on ignorance. I wonder, do they eat meat slaughtered in factories killed by someone else, and do they consider that moral, or would that be totally unethical and immoral? Hypocrisy, anyone?
The terms trophy hunt, trophy hunting and trophy hunter, are often used by anti-hunters to disparage hunters and hunting. The argument succeeds with people ignorant of nature and predation, with the emotionally weak and the intellectually challenged.
The hunter who shot the bull, and let's assume it was a "trophy" animal, i.e., a mature bull, was in fact on a hunt of a lifetime, per the CO wildlife regulations. Nearly all hunters hunt for the meat and to take a larger animal means more meat. Mature male (trophy) bulls are larger than smaller bulls, and they are much, much larger than females (cows). Thus, the "trophy hunter" harvests more meat, which is the principal goal. How is that unethical or immoral?
Cause the liberals say so! Were just a bunch of stupid hillbillies
C'mon guys, get with the program. We should buy our meat at the grocery store where it's made, and no animals are harmed.

A lot of win in this thread.
In Yellowstone a few yrs ago, I showed up right as some wolves had been scared off from a soon to be kill. This left a cow elk walking around half hamstrung and with its intestines hanging out. Nature is a harsh bitch, no way around it. I asked if "someone" could go down there and 10mm the cow, putting her out of her misery and was told absolutely not. That bothered me much more than the story above.
In the grand scheme of things, we might all hope for a clean kill.
I had read of a similar situation in Yellowstone (I thought it was in National Geographic, but can't remember) where a moose had its lower jaw hanging like a beard. The wolves were just waiting for the animal to slowly die. A group of 'nature lovers' asked the park ranger to put the moose out of its misery. The ranger responded that they weren't allowed to interfere with the workings of nature. Nature is a cold-hearted bitch that sometimes looks like this;
http://lobowatch.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/wolves-on-a-moose.jpg?w=538&h=349
Reminds me of that cow video where top half of head ripped off by train. Was looking around even though it only had ears and no face. Brain seemed gone but musta had some stem or bigger chunks left in the gore.
One that bothered me a bit is theres a video from yellowstone of a moose that fell or otherwise got hit by geysure. 3rd degree burns over 100% of the thing and its getting chased down the road by 2 bears. Actually escapes and died later.

Good hunt. A CO bull moose is a lifetime hunt. If I ever get a moose tag, and find a moose, I won't care who's standing around to see it because that maybe the one and only opportunity I'll ever get.
That's a $250 tag for a resident. And to get the preference points you have to basically loan the DOW $250 for a few months every year for a decade or more. You can't just walk out and shoot a moose whenever you want. It takes many, many, many years of planning. Glad that guy was successful.

They changed it this year, 7 years for moose or goat tag due to overpopulation. Last two years I've had run ins with moose while hunting, I guess they were "tame" too because they never paid any attention to me.

I didn't know they changed the preference point requirement. But the lifetime bag limit is 1 bull. I too have run into Moose the last two years while elk hunting. Not one ran away scared.
Been putting in for 20+ years.

BRAINARD LAKE RECREATION AREA, Colo. - Hunters are now banned from shooting moose with a quarter mile of the popular Brainard Lake Recreation Area.
In September, a bow hunter shot and killed a moose just feet from a road and several wildlife watchers at Brainard Lake, near the town of Ward, Colorado.
"There's no hunt in that kind of kill," said Kim Lehman, a campground host near Brainard Lake. "These [moose] are basically pets. They're tame. They're not afraid of humans at all."
"People saw that. People were enraged," said Virginia Miller who was also a campground host. "People were stunned. People were traumatized."
Jennifer Churchill, spokeswoman for the northeast region of Colorado Parks and Wildlife, said the kill was clean and legal, and the hunter had a valid archer tag for moose.
"It is unfortunate that there were people in the area who witnessed this and were offended by it," said Churchill. "But it's also important to understand that we have multi-use lands in Colorado."
However, witnesses and others were outraged at Brainard Lake and on social media.
"It's like going into a zoo and saying, 'Wow, I like that lion. I'm going to kill him,'" said Lehman, who is also hunter. That's not hunting. Hunting is when you go out and sit in the woods and wait for them, or track them or be part of their environment and take them down."
The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission approved several regulation changes for big game hunting in Colorado at its January meeting.
One of the changes puts a restriction in place near Brainard. It says, "The restriction is a quarter mile that extends out from the high water mark of Brainard Lake until the U.S. Forest Service gate closes, (at or near Oct. 12). Once the gate closes, the closure is lifted."
"Hunting is when you go out and sit in the woods and wait for them, or track them or be part of their environment and take them down."
That's what happened. I'm glad we're creating sanctuary areas for the critters. Let's see if the tree hugging bunny lovers change their tune when the area is negatively impacted by population density. Bull moose aren't Bullwinkles. Can't wait to hear the news of dog stompings and aggressive behavior towards campers.
Elk herd thinning in RMNP anyone?
Ban tree hugging nerds from Hunting area's.

I would think they would be more thankful towards us hunters who pay (from taxes on firearms, ammo and licensing fees) for their opportunity to view wildlife in their natural habitat. They just got to witness the circle of life first hand (que Lion King).
But my meat comes from the grocery store. No animals died for my bugers.

It was to be expected given all the hoo-ha thanks to ABC Channel 7 using inflammatory and ignorant comments to sell a story. Is there no journalistic responsibility to the truth, no respect for science and the phenomenal success of the North American wildlife management scheme? An eighth mile would have been adequate for a visual barrier to "protect" the nitwits from the realities of predation. At least in that area the willow carrs that the moose inhabit are are numerous and extensive so it shouldn't have a big impact on a determined hunter.
Oh, and Channel 7 can kiss my ass, the low life scum.

Heard on the news this morning that another moose was taken by a bow hunter near Brainard Lake again this year. It's like deja vu all over again.
Another moose killed in front of park visitors at Brainard Lake (http://www.dailycamera.com/boulder-county-news/ci_28916741/another-moose-killed-front-park-visitors-at-brainard)
Carla Johnson of Boulder was walking near the lake at 3:45 p.m Wednesday with a friend from out of town when she said she came across a group of people looking at a moose in a clearing about 30 or 40 yards away. She said eventually a group of almost 20 people had gathered to watch the moose graze.
"Everyone was 'oohing' and 'ahhing' and it was beautiful," Johnson said."They were just beside themselves with excitement. Everyone was really enjoying it."
But Johnson said the mood quickly turned when the moose was shot by a hunter who emerged from the bushes just a few yards from the moose. Johnson said she did not hear a shot, so assumed it was a bow kill.
"All of a sudden, the moose turned and was looking at us, and then all of a sudden it just dropped to the ground," Johnson said. "We all gasped, we all went into shock. People started screaming, like we were witnessing a murder in the middle of the most enjoyable part of the day."
Johnson — who frequents the area often — said it was a traumatizing event to witness, and does not know why hunting is allowed in an area where so many people go to see animals.
"All I can say is that to have hunting be legal in state parks is an act of insanity," Johnson said. "It just ruined everybody's experience being at Brainard and some may never come back."
Waaaah! [Sarcasm2]
Sounds like a clean kill.
Hopefully he offered her the liver!

Heart, a true warrior.
So they're upset someone killed an animal in season"? Fuck them. Now if the guy was out of season and or no tag, then he gets what's coming.
Hopefully he started field dressing it in front of the hippies

Would it have been more palatable at another time of day?
Johnson — who frequents the area often — said it was a traumatizing event to witness, and does not know why hunting is allowed in an area where so many people go to see animals.
This is an easy one to answer, Ms. Einstein. Because when one hunts animals in season, successful hunters go to where the animals are.
"All I can say is that to have hunting be legal in state parks is an act of insanity," Johnson said.
Because state lands are available to "the people" and have multiple uses. Use of state lands is not exclusive to bunny huggers that just want to get up close to wildlife to take selfies. It's also for educational purposes...and you just got educated. That's how a skilled hunter humanely harvests an animal for the well-being of the herd while also being able to put food on the table.
Hunter probably saved lives by taking that moose. Hippies would've gotten closer to take a selfie. That's the only fault I see.

Well if I had to choose between the moose getting taken and the moose taking out some hippies....I'm kinda sad he shot it then.

The hippies should have brought their little dogs. It might have changed their opinion of the moose.
Heard this on the radio this morning and had to laugh as state DOW officials released a statement telling people not to go wildlife viewing during a valid hunting season. Also, this animal was harvested on federal land controlled by USFS and open to hunters, not a state park, plus the hunter had a valid tag. State DOW plans to put up signs saying when hunting seasons and times are around state controlled lands and stating that it is dangerous to enter during those times.

This is why I am tired of Colorado and the "lower 48". I am ready to move home to Alaska.
It is priceless to see the look on a bus load of tourists faces when they pull off the road in Denali National Park and are taking pictures of a 55+ moose and some local takes it with a 7MM rem Mag. Makes me smile. I've never seen a tame "wild" moose before. I mean I have fed one carrots, that makes it like a zoo animal right?
Also, finally got my hunters safety card, that was a joke. But I feel safer now. I was told 18 years to draw, honestly I would rather save $10-15k and go up on a Yukon moose hunt. You can pick your bull and they aren't skinny and hungry looking like the Rocky mtn moose.
This rant was fairly weak, I will try harder next time.
Oh, and if I ever had the chance to shoot an albino moose, I wouldn't hesitate! It would look great in the freezer and on the wall.
