They update the signs quarterly. Trouble is, we never get the year's total. I think it was up to 248 or 258, so maybe a third more... Maybe 330, so nearly one per day... I saw a yearling or a two year old being loaded into the bed of a pickup on K-Beach already, and I've seen debris elsewhere. #moosesign #kenaisafariclub #kenaialaska #kenaispurhwy #kenai (at Kenai, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRMcdesB7Sx/?utm_medium=tumblr

The morning after: forlorn orphaned moose calf. Ten hours ago this almost ten-month old moose calf lost its mother. It will probably hang out in the area for a few days, as long as her scent lingers on the roadside. Desperate and skittishly looking for her, the orphaned calf will become a traffic hazard itself. Usually, it seems to me, in these situations, it is the calves that are hit, as people let up on the brakes once the cow has passed safely, only to collide with the calf as it's chasing after its mother. Many times the results are fatal for both the moose, and sometimes for the people involved. #moosecalf #kenaispurhwy #kenaispur #orphanedwildlife #mooseinroad #goprohero4session (at Kenai, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLzW_UzAAw1/?igshid=ktd50orsxe78

Someone hit a moose😢. It was the truck on the left facing into the ditch, the other cars were rendering aid, checking the occupants, and possibly moved the moose out of the roadway so someone else wouldn't hit it again (it happens more than you would believe!). Must have just happened, as there are no police or EMS on scene yet. This is just around the corner from where I live. Things seemed well in hand so I carried on home... #mooseaccident #kenai #kenaispur #kenaispurhwy #snowstormaccident #goprohero4session (at Kenai, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLyNoFQAyJ_/?igshid=1h3okykpe4jsm
