Moose have non-reflective eyes. Can’t see them standing in the middle of the road at night.

I narrowly missed one in NH way back when I was a teenage rider. I went off the road into a ditch which was better than hitting a tree.

A popular and serious bumper sticker seen up north reads "BRAKE FOR MOOSE. IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE."

Years ago, I had an uncle that was killed when he ran into a horse on the highway. A moose is considerably larger than a horse.

Never mind about the driver, did the moose suffer injuries?

Went to a wedding in Vermont 25 or so years ago.

What I learned from the locals is that a moose is basically 1000# +/- of meat up on 4’ stilts. You hit one with a car at speed, he gets knocked off his stilts, crashes through the windshield, and not infrequently kills the driver in the process.

Whitetail around here are bad enough, I am glad we don’t have to worry about mooses.

My daughter-in-law from Brazil, who took mission trips to Africa says that here in Illinois its the white tailed deer. In Africa, it is the elephants.
