this is great news for NY - but like the article stated - be careful with the car - when i went to newfoundland i saw pictures of what moose/car accidents look like - the moose wins

One of my goals is to see a moose while hiking in the Dak's some day. Sounds like our odds of seeing one are increasing. I just need more time to hike there to make it happen. We hiked Kibby Pond this summer and there are reports of some there but we only saw what appeared to be a swimming deer there, but then again it was far across the pond and being a rookie hiker I had no Bino's. Live and learn.
