Hey, I just called 911. Some boys were taunting a cow moose in Muldoon park off Northern lights. There are a couple caches there and I am worried about safety. I have lived in Alaska my whole life and I have never seen a moose this angry! She will charge I am 100% positive. Please help me let people know.

Dumb kids. How old were they? If they're over 12, I'd say they deserve to get trampled!!

I used to live in that area and some of the kids over there are terrible. Moved across town a couple months ago and have been loving it ever since.
About three years ago there was a cow that had just given birth (baby moose was still wet) and was walking through the neighborhood. Some of the kids started throwing rocks at the baby and a couple of them nearly got killed by momma when she jumped into their yard and nearly ran inside their house after the little brats.

I don't think they were 12, maybe 10ish. They must have somehow believed that they were faster than the moose on their single speed bikes because they rode right up to her when she was bucking and stomping the ground, hackles up, shaking her head violently from side to side. It sucks when kids or adults get a moose incensed like that and you’re the next person to have contact with it.

Thanks for making the report. Saw many moose out yesterday in 99504. Thanks to you and ladybugkids, I just joined trailwatch. We should all be keeping an extra eye out and taking the extra steps to keep everyone safe...
