There was another one of those at the Ridgedale Shopping Center. Same 394 road. I think they are two separate incidences.

Deer are so plentiful in this area some towns have pro hunters come in and thin the herd. I had 8 does and yearlings come to my yard at night for the corn.

It is scary how much damage they can do to a car, and the injuries they can cause. And even if the person survives the impact, they may have a injured animal with antlers that weighs over half a ton thrashing around.

While that's great for hunters it can be very very bad for drivers, particularly in areas particularly prone to fog. And there are plenty of those.

i found the texture in the language fascinating, and really enjoyable to read. it reminded me of the shipping news, which I have just looked up and was set in newfoundland.

so could there be a market for something like this, the good thing is that the ex-moose would end up in your tray ready to take home for barbeque

Actually if you look at the front of big trucks in Newfoundland, you're not that far off! They are armoured up like crazy.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that I worked at a lodge north of Grand Marais, MN. I also spent a summer working a tad further north and just south of the Canadian border in Grand Portage, MN which is on an Indian reservation. One of the Native American residents who was also a cook at the restaurant cooked a moose roast using the restaurant kitchen. She cooked it for herself and the staff, not for the customers. It was the best roast I've ever tasted.

This made it easy for the indians to kill them with one arrow to the chest,one hole,both lungs go down (also true with canines).

Nah, that's not it. In his infinite wisdom God gave Americans the unalienable right to bear arms, but clearly didn't give any such right to the moose. Even if the moose had 1000 individual lungs its purpose would still be to be killed by a well armed american.
It's all in the 2nd amendment and the Bible!

Here in NH....the massive tick population has raised holy hel with the moose...killing a lot of them.
