You should do the 12 hr drive from Thunder Bay to Kenora at nighttime. There is a very high percentage that you will have to dodge a moose, just a deer if lucky. This is the TransCanada highway and is the main route by vehicle across the thick forest of Western Ontario. If you are on wheels, its the way you gotta go.
The chances have been weakend in the last few years since they installed "moose fences" along alot of the northern King's Highway, but i have on numerous occasions seen them stuck on this side of the fence, and they are not shy about hitting the road.
A 1200lb moose is a little diferant then a couple hundred pound deer or any bear (lower body mass, they don't end up IN your lap.
