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 - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
