I lived in Eaglewood since 1983.  It's my belief that this same mother moose birthed her babies in the exact same section of trail for at least 20 years. The HOA or neighbors always posted signs warning people to not walk through there when she was there with her calves. On one or more occasion, I unknowingly walked near her with my daughters but we turned around and retraced our steps. I'm not aware of any other incidences of her charging people in those 20 years.  The first post made by the HOA following the recent injury incident noted that there had been reports of kids throwing rocks at the moose earlier that day.  I'm not sure why none of the news reports has mentioned this--which I would think was a causative factor in her aggression that day.  I totally understand the need for the authorities to take action; however, I'm so saddened by the loss of this animal who seemed to birth her calves there every year because she felt it was a safe place.
