just like moose -- car accidents
never good when a big mature elk gets hit by a car doing 50- 60 mph

Re: elk meets car
I've bumped a few animals in my time, but that is nasty. Though both are dead, the elk won that encounter. Hope no one got hurt.

Re: elk meets car
I agree , they should put the signs up by where the traffic is slower - where the kids cross ,at the school zone 1

bet they wont drive like that any more
Re: elk meets car
we had a lady on national news wanting to know why they put up the elk crossing signs
"why do they put up the sign so close to town ? why not put it up farther away so the elk will cross away from town where its safer?
