    Almost got a moose today.

    I was running a whopping 20 moh and all of a sudden the snow berm exploded in front of my truck.
    It took just a second to realise that it was a moose blowing through it on a run angling across the one lane road. I was afraid he would slow down or slip on the road, but he blew threw the berm on the other side with just a couple of feet to spare. lol

    That's not the type of grilled moose you want Starmac! Glad you're ok.

    starmac; With the attitude of a moose it's just a wonder he didn't turn and take you on. lol

    Remember close only counts using heavy artillery. Each spring driving across Ontario at night, one will encounter "close encounters" while in the Kenora District.

    If you speed up a little you might increase your odds of goosing Bullwinkle into the tree tops.
