“These moose, right now, are seeking the path of least resistance,” said Ted Spraker, president of the local chapter of Safari Club International.
Alaska’s shortest days draw the highest number of moose-vehicle collisions. This time of year, the danger is heightened by snow, as moose move down toward the roads where it’s not as hard to walk or forage for food.
“So people can understand how many moose are being killed and the fact that it’s increasing in December, January, February — always the worst months,” Spraker said. Spraker expects the number of collisions to start dropping soon, as it becomes lighter around commuting time. He said it’s important for drivers to make sure their windshields are clear and headlights are working properly before heading out on the road in winter. He said awareness is paramount this time of year — particularly around driveways.
