    Don't try to get around them by the front, they don't stop and turn back like a deer, they just move across the road like a tank. Aim for the back end and you will generally miss them.

    A moose is an animal that I would hit the ditch before hitting.

    Stay off Hwy 69/144 in the spring, too much swamp and too many moose going out on to the highway.

    Why is this coming up just before I head north.

    144 is not the moose trap it once was I very rarely see them out there anymore and can't recall last road kill I came across. 655 is bad, 631 out Hornepayne, 101 to Chapleau and 129 to Thessalon. Also out to Wawa and 17 West.

    Pretty sure 144 and 17 were bad for moose this year. OPP/Media kept blaming the high numbers of biting insects in the bush driving the moose out onto the roads.

    I personally extricated two people at one accident due to a moose this summer on hwy 17. Driver hit a moose, then veered into oncoming traffic hitting another car offset head-on. Driver of the SUV that hit the moose didn't survive the head-on. Passenger survived with minor injuries. Driver in the other vehicle survived; we had to cut him out.

    I've clipped a moose chin in my car... dented the a-pillar right at the bend where it meets the roof and had moose hair stuck in the trim around the windshield. Didn't break the glass. One of the luckiest days of my life.

    My uncle worked as a paramedic in Sudbury for a long time, he warned me to stop in for the night before heading north on those highways from Sudbury to Hwy 11, very windy and difficult to see around the rock cuts.
