If you happen to be traveling over the season in this area of New York, be aware that moose are very active, can and will into the state, and frequently enter our roadways, just like any other wild animal.
The NYSDEC notes that moose can be unpredictable and possibly dangerous, especially a cow with calves and rutting bulls, who at times will charge at people, other animals, and even cars.
