Once transient to the state, the Shiras moose was reintroduced into Colorado in the late 1970s. The species' success has provided new tourism opportunities for wildlife watchers and sportsmen alike. Still a rare animal to see in the wilderness, wildlife managers remain responsible for managing sustainable moose populations and striking a balance between the public, ranchers and wildlife who all use the land to survive. 

Join us as Sean Ender shares his film, Colorado's Moose, which combines captivating stories from biologists, wildlife managers, a photographer, hunters and ranchers with stunning footage of moose and majestic scenics of the Colorado Rockies in this tremendous story for wildlife management.

Sean's film has already gained popularity as a first of its kind and has been selected for the International Wildlife Film Festival in Missoula, MT and the Wildlife Conservation Film Festival in New York City.
