Took a short jaunt down to the Kenai. On the way back I got to
test the anti-lock brake system on the car. From 70mph to a stop
as mama moose and the kid decided to do the chicken thing and cross
the highway. They were indecisive as to which lane they wanted, so wandered across 3 different ones before they finally exited to the
left. I moved over into the, center, oncoming traffic lane since
the guy behind me apparently didn't have ABS, I could hear his tires squealing, so I gave him a way by me. Truthfully I was more worried
about him rearending me than me hitting the moose, I still had a
little brake pedel left.

Smiting a large animal like a moose - or a hawg or cow - will do your bodywork no good. And, if has happened around here a couple times the animal rolls up over the hood and comes into the passenger compartment
the results can be fatal.

What are the laws there. If you are unfortunate enough to hit and kill
a moose or any other large animal, can you keep the carcass? TTTT, I am not even sure what the law says here in Maryland.

Often referred to, locally, as getting your moose the hard way. Moose
are built funny. Their legs are really long, so the torso is quite a
ways up in the air. Hit a mature one with a F150 type truck and the
torso will hit the windshield (cut the legs out from under it).
The baby moose, born this spring, was about the size of your
whitetailed deer, and could walk under mama's belly.
Almost hit a pig a couple of years ago, got out of somebody's yard
and ran out into the road, narrow twisty 2-lane with brush along
side. That scared me, I've heard that can do as much damage as
hitting a bear (short legged very compact animals, kinda like hitting
a pile of bricks).

I've hit one deer. It, and a bunch of pals, ran across highway 550
just north of Durango Colorado. Connie and I lived there at the time
and were taking some in-laws out for a drive around. I was driving a
IH Scout which had half a V-8 in it, slant 4, and it moved at dead
slow. The deer dented the fender a little jumped over a barbed wire
fence and ran off. Later we were driving down a twisty dirt road,
rocks on one side and a cliff that went several hundred feet down to
the creek. My SIL made me stop when we drove up to a sign reading
"Road Narrows", she was afraid to get out of the car since there
already wasn't much road left alongside. She took a photo through the windshield and we drove on down to the creek.

I had a Scout briefly. It wasn't all that horrid
Sounds like a trip to Richmond, Va I made when trucking. I was taking...
to get a pry-bar to remove the seat upholstery from between my cheeks.
