Now you see em, now you don't

Big moose problem in Newfoundland, not that we have see any. You can imagine my disappointment.  They are not native to the island, having been brought over for their meat around 1904. I just read that the population of  120,000 is descended from just 4. Hmmph, makes you wonder, but they have hundreds of serious accidents every year and are always looking for a solution. There are some test sections along the highway that uses infrared scanners and flashing lights to warn about moose on the road and fencing sections, but they seem to be struggling to find the answer.
