Yeah, roadkill has a stigma, but the truth is that a moose getting hit by a car or truck is gonna die (and destroy the vehicle, unless it has the heavy steel guards) and the meat is still useful. And as you can tell by the current governor of Alaska, Moose meat is much sought after. (its also very good!)
I remember when riding the train from Denali park, one of the conductors was saying that after a heavy snowfall, the moose will walk on the track (out of the deep snow) and it wasn't uncommon to hit a lot of them.
Of course, the train messes them up a bit. but then again, the bears can have a good meal too.
hey its a "circle of life thing!"
