If you find a bumper that will take a moose hit and not bend, I'll take 3. Lol.

arb bumper:dunno:

they are designed to hit kangaroos at 60 i think

I've come close to hitting one in my Blazer on Rt4 in Farmington at night, which is a 4 lane highway. It was running straight at me.

The problem is they're so damn tall, you could hit one and never touch the bumper, plus they weigh a lot. Quite a bit bigger than a kangaroo too. :scared:

When you guys/girls come up, let ME4x4 know, we'd love to join in. I haven't been to that region in a long time.

Thats AWESOME! I would love to bowhunt for moose!

... speaking of bowhunting for moose, what are the laws regarding hunting with a crossbow? I'm looking at building one with my old leaf springs after I replace them this weekend, and I'm betting that firing chunks of rebar through cinder blocks will get boring after a while.

:clap: Thats awesome haha.

I might be persuaded to bring it when this trip takes place, if hunting with it is legal... or even just to do some target practice, seeing as the moose season is in the fall and it sounds like this trip will be in the spring.

I couldnt attend this year, have a trip west to save for. But i hope ya'll do get together!

weekends are best to go there, my family lives in that area and we take the golden road all the time, but you have to remember it's THEIR road, and the loggers will run you right off it if they get the chance. I do know that there is a serious number of lifted XJ's just south of that area in Greenville Jct. Everytime I drive near moosehead lake I see them parked on the side roads. There is also a ton of unmaintained roads in Abbot ME. Plus thats where the international snowmobile trail runs through so you can hop on those and there's gas stations on the trail :laugh3:
