Officials have a reminder for pet owners as encounters with deer, moose and elk become more common in neighborhoods. It's illegal for pets to chase after wildlife.
"When I woke up and looked out the window and this moose was just walking through the yard, just kind of meandering down here,” she explained."It was surreal. Because it was so big, I’ve never seen one in the neighborhoods."
"We’ve definitely seen an increase in the number of big game animals coming down into these lower valley areas trying to look for food," explained Faith Jolley with DWR. It's illegal for pets to chase after wildlife in Utah and an owner could be cited for the behavior or even worse. DWR also warns that with the elk, moose and deer, the rest of the food chain also comes down the mountain. Michie says she's seen that firsthand in her neighborhood.
