The group “Keep Routt Wild” wants to see if anyone may have seen, or have information about, the death of a bull moose. It happened Sunday when the moose wandered up to the top level of the parking structure. It may have felt trapped, with people there, and it jumped off and died. If you can identify anyone involved, or you have any videos, please reach out to Operation Game Thief or the Colorado Parks and Wildlife office in Steamboat Springs.
