elk accidents?
I'm wondering if there are a lot of elk and moose that get hit by cars? There is always deer on the side of the road here in Wisconsin and I was just imagining how much damage hitting an elk, moose or even a buffalo would do.

It is common to see deer around here that have been hit, but I have only seen one elk killedby a vehicle the last 6 years.

The biggest animal i've seen was a black bear that was running down the road about 5 or6 years ago.

Its a big problem across the north America's, thats why hunting plays such an important role in game management. without it think how many animals and people would die. hear is a posterI came up with a while back.

About two weeks ago I seen a dead cow elk along Hwy 13 north of Craig, Co. Didn't see what the vehicle looked like.

A few years ago I was towing my boat back from the ocean, and a big old 64-inch bull moose runs out in front of my F250. I hit him on the right side of the front end.
No one died (except the moose) and it did about $12,000 worth of damage to the truck. |

It's not completey uncommon for people to hit elk on the highway in the mountains here, but it doesn't happen often. I only see a few dead road-kill elk a year. I don't think I've ever seen a road-killed moose here. Alaska's a little different story. On the Sterling Highway in Alaska, 214 moose-vehicle collisions were reported between mile 58 and mile 79 from 1980-2001. The most dangerous part of hitting a moose or elk is that they are so tall. If you are driving a little SUV or a car, they can fall onto the car and crush the people in the front. Same thing with horses.
