Be careful out there....

Front page in the local fishwrapper, five vehicle collisions with moose in one day. One totally destroyed a truck and cargo. And a driver was killed in a rollover when attempting to avoid a deer.

Maine's a different sort of place....

Oops, wrong movie.

As for the wildlife, in bicycle mode I have had close encounters with woodchucks, deer, and a mangy-looking red fox, but no moose. And a flying wild turkey nearly knocked me off the bike. Looked about like a B52, up close and personal....

It would seem that the wild turkeys don't have a whole lot more sense than the domesticated variety, who have to be herded in out of the rain! I wouldn't recommend a close encounter with a moose, though, it's about like hitting a brick wall.
