Moose Slams Through Car Windshield In NH
NEW DURHAM, NH (WBZ) ―

    * Moose On The Loose In Gardner



A New Hampshire driver narrowly escaped serious injuries after she crashed into a moose on a New Durham roadway.

Constance Bickford, 56, was driving along Route 11 near Quaker Rd. when she hit the moose.

The force of the impact threw the moose onto the hood of Bickford's car and through the windshield. The moose landed in the passenger seat of the car, only inches from Bickford.

The moose died in the crash. Bickford was treated for minor injuries.

Not exactly my idea of moose huntin'.

I hope she got to take the thing home!

That's not that uncommon. I used to live about 3 miles from there.
Deer are just something you know to watch for, but Moose are not that rare.

Gosh I hope it wasn't the..........



I'm glad Ms Bickford was okay.   

At the Johnson Space Flight Center year ago, most of the injuries were caused by deer!   Seems quite a few inhabited the "back 40" of the property.  A lot of employees/contractors used the back gate and quite frequently would result in an  "encounter."

Years ago I took a week long course at the National Fire Academy and a couple of guys from NH were telling us that they do a LOT of auto/moose collision calls. Seems the mooses don't obey the crossing signs.

I have a friend that narrowly escaped being run over by a moose a few years ago.  We were hunting black bear in northern Maine and he was waiting on the side of a logging trail for our guide to pick him up.  Apparently, it's a local form of entertainment to "run" moose by driving behind them (they won't veer off, unless you push them too hard).  Our guide laughed so hard I thought he might wet himself, as he drove over a mile behind the moose, knowing my friend would be waiting, in the dark, on the side of the road.  Well, by the time my friend saw the moose, he was forced to dive head first into the bushes to avoid being plowed by the exceptionally large bull.  He didn't seem to appreciate the humor of the situation as much as the rest of us.  At least, until he was sure he hadn't filled his pants.

[SwoopSJ]

Doesn't ya means "Mooseses IS big"? 

Thank you, Haz.  My English ain't good as it once were.

Doesn't ya means "Mooseses IS big"? 

Not to correct Haz or anything, but the proper grammar is "Mooseses are big". "Meese is big" is also acceptable.
