...been my experience in the last two weeks that deer move fast and get spooked easy, while a solitary moose is the king of the woods and they move very slowly like they ain't scared of nothing including a moving car!

Route 49 on the one mile flats in the White Mt Nat'l Forest within the town line of Waterville Valley, that's close to the Mad River, has moose this time of year look'n for left-over road salt to lick off the dirt shoulders, and this one huge moose down there acts like he owns the area! High beams and slower speed is the way-to-travel!

On the other end, the Meredith Neck Rd has lots of deers running fast that might even run right into a moving car....and they seem to get spooked pretty easy. Usually, if there is one deer down there, there will be a second or third one soon to follow.

As u probably know, u need to have comprehensive insurance coverage in force in order to come out on top and made whole after the wildlife smash-up and I have seen a Ford Crown Victoria police car that got totaled in a moose collision on Route 49 in Waterville Valley. The officer was fortunate to go to the hospital with just some minor injuries.
