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 - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
