Yeah, this year seems worse than I remember for the last several years. I have a feeling there are just a lot more people around than before and they are not paying attention.

Friday’s attack comes after a second attack was reported on June 4, days after the first elk attack on May 30. The latest incident occurred early Friday morning when a woman was walking a leashed dog near South St. Vrain Avenue and Stanley Avenue when she “startled a cow elk from about 20 yards away.” The agency said she tried to run behind a tree for protection, but the “elk knocked her to the ground, stomping and kicking her several times.”
