The denuded right of way bordering the Alaska Highway provides some warning from animals jumping out into the road. It also creates a roadside pasture, as enjoyed by this herd of bison. There were numerous signs warning motorists of the wildlife carnage that happens along this road. The most dangerous time for intimate full body contact with these beasts by your vehicle is between the hours of 7 pm to midnight. 150lb. deer take out bikers in California all the time. I could imagine the damage that would occur if I harpooned one of these guys or a moose, which can weigh up to a ton.
