Title: Moose alert
Post by: Jim Johnson on April 12, 2013, 08:36 PM NHFT
I saw a moose.    :D
It was on the 101, east of Peterborough.
It crossed about 50yds in front of me, I saw him coming from the right.
The guy behind me almost hit me, because I break for moose that are as big as my van.
I've been in New Hampshire almost 8 years and that was my first.

Cool!!  I'm so jealous...We've been here about 16 years and I have never seen one. :(  Tom and the former prez on the other hand have seen three!  One was right down the road in a neighbour's yard. :)

There was also one that made the front page of the paper when he strolled right through town on main street.  :D

Saw a Mack hit a moose, once.  The moose walked away.  The Mack was dead on the scene.  I'm sure the moose died later, but it did live longer than the truck...

Common police report in Coos County: "Police responded to a moose-vehicle collision on Route 110. The moose was last seen running into the woods. The vehicle was totalled and towed from the scene."

That's when I don't want to encounter a moose, because they do crazy things like crash through your windshield.

Moose should have lighted license numbers and be required to stop after an accident.  That would save the State a ju-be-job of moneys in accident stuff from uninsured moose.

I saw my first moose Sunday morning, just south of the Flume Gorge exit.

She was definitely less-than-ambulatory, laid out on the shoulder of I-93.

Funny
I have never seen a dead one. Just saw a poor baby deer in Oregon.

This one is hard to see but he was running across I-93 on Rick's way to work.
