Medics arrived at the scene shortly before noon and pronounced dead the man who was kicked.
The victim has been identified as Dale Chorman, 70, of Homer.
‘As they were walking through the brush looking for the moose, that’s when the cow moose attacked Dale,’ said department spokesperson Austin McDaniel.
The cow moose left the area and an investigation into the animal attack is ongoing.
