I drove from Vermont to Maine on a smaller highway one night. I think we passed four moose. They were almost black. It seemed to me if I hit one, it’s long legs put its mass so high up, I would effectually have something near the weight of a milk cow coming right through my windshield instead of having the front of the car take the brunt of the hit.
