Do moose live in family groups?
I'm not sure what you're referring to, but as far as "family groups" are concerned, this is only applicable to a cow and her calf or calves, which she keeps with her until they're a year old, which is when she weans them off and chases them away, leaving them to fend for themselves. Moose are solitary animals, by the way, not herd-bound unlike other ungulates like deer, elk, cattle, sheep, goats and antelope.

No. Moose are listed as least concern on the IUCN red list. They are actually very widespread and the population is high. In fact, there is actually over 2000 wild moose in Anchorage, AK, and there are many moose all over Canada as well, with a high population in Newfoundland where there are no natural predators. The only way that moose are controlled in Newfoundland is by hunting. British Columbia, Alberta, northern half of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec have healthy populations of moose; Yukon, NWT and Nunavut also have moose in the southern part of these territories.

That's kind of like asking if there is a real lion who can defeat a moose without teeth or claws. Men don't fight animals barehanded, that's why we're at the top of the food chain!
That said, if it came to it, a primitive hunter could probably contrive to win against a moose barehanded, probably by jumping on it's back and gouging it's eyes out.
The Native Americans, while not unarmed, would stampede buffalo off of a cliff, and that actually counts, as they weren't using their weapons.
