At least that was my experience here in Massachusetts.

Until one encounters a deer/moose or has a close call or worse they cannot even begin to understand what it is like.
Having had close calls in the car, motorcycle, ATV and snowmobile, let me just say it will pucker you up real quickly.
I've come as close as brushing deer on my sled and was within 2 feet of a moose at about 75mph, that was close.
