Then I realized, it wasn't a deer, and he was slowly trotting along.

It was a MOOSE.

If I hadn't of hit the brakes, we would all be eating moose burger.

It was less than 10 feet.

Allan I love to eat moose meat but I'd prefer to get it another way than with the front end of my truck. One time I was driving a load from Cochrane in northern Ontario down to Toronto. Just outside of New Liskert I came around a bend in the road and came upon a cow moose and her 2 calves, They had started to cross the road as I was rounding the bend. Thank God there was no traffic in either direction besides me, otherwise, it could have been nasty. Scared the daylights out of me. Still don't know how I missed hitting one of them. You take care driving and everyone else drive safe too.

Never seen a Moose out on the road, but the closest I came to hitting a deer in a truck was in Ill. There was a deer standing on the white line, and some faster Trucks passing me on the left. The Deer had his head out in the road area, so I was expecting to hit it. I missed. The trucks behind me saw it and was amazed at the size of the deer and it's nerve to stand there.

A driver for the Company I worked for, did hit a horse up in Montana. Torn the front end of the truck up pretty bad.

Deer are nothing for me. I usually hit one every 1-2 years.

Maple, this happened on 17 just west of t-bay, maybe an hour.

I know someone that hit a black angus!

I go snow mobiling in Pittsburgh New Hampshire on First Connecticut Lake every year for a week with a bunch of people. Pittsburgh NH has the highest population of moose anywhere on earth. On the average, 9 moose per square mile. We go out 1 night on the trails real slow just to watch them standing on the trail 10 feet away from us. They are so cool. And before you say anything. Moose mind there own business. It's only the female in the spring with a calf that will attack.

Lets see, when there is more than one moose is it.

We have crazy amounts of deer here, but no moose, you have to go further east into ontario for them critters.

Between Winnipeg and the US border(less then 60 miles) there's said to be 10,000 deer along the Red river.

One time on highway 12 in an hour I saw about 120 deer.

Moose Factory, LMFAO, that's hilarious!

One of the line drivers at our barn who runs US395 from Reno to Big Pine nightly has hit 37 deer in his driving career.
