It's A Bird, It's A Plane, It's...A Moose?

It was a rough day to be a moose.

Several were stalked by helicopter, captured with a net, blindfolded and then airlifted to trailers for a six-hour drive.

The moose woke up in Utah on Friday but were going to sleep in Colorado.

The strategy helps Utah cure a moose overpopulation while raising the number in Colorado. In return, Utah will get big horn sheep.

“I equate this to alien abduction. It's got to be that traumatic,” said Dean Riggs, area wildlife manager with the Colorado Wildlife Division.
