A moose that attacked a hunter on Tuesday, resulting in life-threatening injuries to the man, won’t be euthanized, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

The attack occurred after a bow hunter in the Trap Creek area of Larimer County took a shot at a bull moose and missed. The moose then turned and charged, goring and trampling the man. The man sustained serious and life-threatening injuries.

“His ability to stay cool after being mangled by a moose, to have that presence of mind, is pretty impressive,” said wildlife manager Jason Surface of the hunter. “Having an emergency beacon device contributed to this hunter’s rescue and it is always good to have a plan when in the woods by yourself.”
