Where did Colorado's moose come from?

In researching many of Colorado's Division Of Wildlife web sights I have found that moose have wandered into Colorado from Wyoming for many years but never enough to sustain a population. Most all of Colorado's some 1200 moose have originated from Utah. In the late 1970's the DOW transplanted 12 moose in Northpark up around Walden. In more recent years The DOW transplanted 21 moose in the Grand Mesa area by Creed. Due to Colorado's growing problem with Chronic Wasting Disease all moose transplants have been put on hold. A true shame in my opinion the more moose in Colorado the better.

I have just returned from a trip to Alaska and have some wonderful moose photos to share so stay tuned.
