The warning was issued in the wake of three recent attacks, which occurred in Park, Grand and Routt counties. Folks are advised to be extra vigilant near water with thick vegetation, where moose often hide their young, and be forewarned: nothing pisses them off more than furry four-legged hiking companions.
