I'd be more concerned about a deer strike than a moose strike. As you point out the deer will come right up your hood and possibly through your windshield. With an adult moose (in a car at least) there's a good chance you'll cut it's legs out from under the animal and pass mostly by it before it comes down on you. When I happened upon such a collision on Rt25 some years ago, the VW rabbit just about made it under the moose. It was hit only on the rear quarter section of the roof, blowing out the side & back/hatch windows. People were unhurt but the poor moose had at least 1 broken leg.
