I have seen moose on my property SE of Spokane occasionally, though they are not common. There are elk around, but I have not seen any on the property. Whitetail deer are around all the time, and are real pests if you are trying to grow anything.
Lots of deer get hit by vehicles around here. Almost every family has hit at least one. You HAVE to drive slowly from an hour before dusk to an hour after dawn, or it is very likely you will hit a deer. Even so, I have had many close calls. But a few years ago, my wife hit a large buck that did almost $7k damage to our almost new car.
I had a very close call with a bull elk one fall at about noon. Luckily I saw him coming and came to a full stop, or I am pretty sure we would have collided. He was big enough that I think a collision at highway speed would have totaled the car and maybe hurt me too.
Colliding with a moose is usually very bad for the vehicle and its contents. There was one hit and killed about a mile from my house a few years ago. I didn"t ever hear what hit it, but there was a lot of broken glass and plastic at the location. The dead moose lay there in the hot summer sun for several days until whoever picks such dead animals up finally got around to removing it. Stunk there for the rest of the summer!
The moose I have seen on my property have been traveling fairly fast and didn"t seem to have any respect for fences. It has been surprising to see an animal that big jump a regular fence. I have thought that the moose were heading for wetter ground than the area where I live. I sure don"t have any good ideas, at least legal ideas about how to keep them away from crops. Good luck Eldon!

Today's Featured Article - Measuring with Calipers - by Staff. The legs of inside calipers are curved outward at the extremities to facilitate measuring small holes, while outside caliper legs have a large curve inward to increase their capacity for large work. Firm-joint calipers are adjusted approximately by the hands and then set to the feel of the work by tapping them on a metal surface. It is a common practice when opening calipers by this means to tap the top of the joint. It is better, if possible, to tap the inside of the legs, as repeated blo
