I've seen lots of mooses. I've seen mooses in Canada, Alaska, Wyoming and Idaho.

I saw one attack my Toyota pick up in northern British Columbia. She was standing on ice in the middle of the road. If I hit the moose it'd come over the hood and hurt me. They are tall. Instead I hit the brakes and landed in a snowdrift. The moose had tried to run and slipped on the ice, she was a bit mad so she leaned against the bed of the pick up and slammed her head against the drivers window for awhile.

Another time I was in a hot spring in Idaho in winter. I looked up and there was a male and female standing 10 feet from me. I did not move. I've seen movies of tormented moose kill people. It's better not to startle them.

They have lots of mooses in Newfoundland, Canada, but the night we drove around looking for them we couldn't find any.

How can you not find meese in Newfoundland? The Newfies down the road had 4 cars totaled by the damn things before moving out here.

Actually, it's funny you say that. We were camping next to a river and socializing with the Newfies. My ex-wife had never seen a moose so he took us 4 wheeling to find a moose at dusk. It was just one of those days, no mooses. They may have been hiding.

That is because the moose, just like most of the newfies, moved to Ontario.

Depends on the time of year - ask any hunter! Moose are seen in some parts throughout the year, except when hunting season starts. Then they hide! And that ain't easy - those things are scary big up close!

How can the moose find their way to Ontario? The signs in Quebec are in French. Do the moose swim from Newfoundland or do they take the ferry?

swimming?

They follow the smell of money - good noses!

Oh, wait! That only gets them to southern Ontario - real bad place for anything that wants space, clean air, and lots of water. Go Northwest, young moose.
