NGL…whats the chances of me hitting a moose? Growing up in NH even near Pease I’ve had one too many close call with Deer…I honestly get scared of them even when I’m driving slow I’ve always wondered how I would react driving if I ran into a moose etc. is going slightly below the speed limit ok?

During the day, just pay attention to the side of the road and be ready to brake if you see movement. At night, definitely keep the speed down as moose eyes are high enough that they don't always reflect headlights, making them harder to spot. Also, keep an eye out for bear; the last time I was up there I didn't see a single moose but I did spot two black bear.

I've driven to Jackman 4 times this year (during the day) and never saw a moose, but not for lack of trying.

Funnily the only moose I have seen all year is in New Hampshire on Route 16 north of Mount Washington.
