Close encounters

I've never seen people in the moose cam before, so I found this interesting.

I also just came across this Yankee magazine article about a too-close encounter with moose, specifically someone who joined "the drivers-who've-hit-a-moose-in-a-vehicle club." He joined in New England, but writes that car-moose collisions are a big problem in Sweden, where automobile engineers have developed a moose crash-test dummy. It's a fascinating article, whether you're interested in the engineering or simply looking for ways to stay safe by not colliding with moose.
