LOL When we would head up north on a Friday night to go camping, we had the same thing happen to us a few times. One time was really scary. We came over a hill and there was a Huge male Moose (bull ) in the middle of the road. We stopped quickly and this thing was just staring into our headlights. We had a tent trailer on the back of our car at the time. It started to look agitated and I was getting really nervous. We were thinking up backing up but we were at the bottom of a hill. Then we turned the headlights off thinking it was freaking the moose out. We were in the pitch black then. I was like ummmmmmmm well now we can't see anything, where is it. Turned the lights back on and it was RIGHT IN FRONT of the car now. I thought it was going to charge the car or something. Slowly it walked to the side of the road and did we ever take off FAST!!!! lol
Other times we have just spotted them on the side of the road. I have some pictures of some, I should scan them and post them.
BTW: I will tell you about the Black Bear that scared the shit of out me, that I never camped in a tent again some other time.
