Penobscot, ME) -- There is one ticked off moose in Hancock County, Maine who wasn't about to share the road with a car. Sheriff's deputies say a car driven by a woman was traveling on Western County Road just after dark last week. According to deputies, the moose was standing in the road, so the woman stopped and waited for it to finish crossing. Apparently it was having a bad day because just as it passed the car it kicked the headlight hard with a hoof and destroyed it. The moose also did some damage to the front fender and bumper of the Volvo, with the total damage estimated to be around two-thousand dollars. Then, it simply sauntered off into the woods. The driver remained in the car, and was not hurt.
Boy, that’s a hard one to get anyone to believe.
Nasti.
Yeppers woman driver, broken headlight... moose every time.
Maybe it didn’t like imports and has a real problem with Swedes.
Now wait a minute — she might be my sister!
Was the moose upset not finding any cheese? That woman is lucky she didn’t get bit. She’s somebody’s sister.
Maine moose ping.
Many years ago Maine made the moose the State animal. The very next day the legislature approved a moose season. Rep from Old Town, Steve Gould stood in the legislature and played “Taps” on his trombone!
I remember the moose/sister thing from a few years ago but what was the story behind it?
I’ve spent a lot of time in Northern Maine. This story may very well be true. They’ll find moose hair if it happened. If she had her lights on, I guarantee it took a run at her.
The moose or the driver? ;0)
No it isn't, as a Native Mainiac I can tell you we have “moose crossing” warning signs all over the highways. I lost a High School friend years ago in Presque Isle when his car was attacked by a Moose.
She would have needed a front-end loader or an M1A1 tank. Bull moose usually run the car over.
I have *almost* the same reaction when I see a Volvo, but with counseling, I’ve learned to bring it under control.
Volvo. She deserves whatever befalls her. Some days you’re Palin, some days you’re the moose.
Must be right wing moose——— identified a liberal by the VlaVla it was driving
What kind of bumper sticker did she have on her car, O or McCann?
