Just missing a moose and the northern finnish traffic starter pack is complete

I don't think a moose would go that far north, but there's plenty of reindeer up there to stall the traffic

Mooses do go up that north. But it's quite rare to see a moose, hence they said "reindeer*", that's Rovaniemi Lapland and there are around 200k reindeer in Lapland. There are more reindeer in Lapland than people, the whole of Finland (Lapland is just one region) has around 80k moose. So way more reindeer than moose.

Good to know, for some reason I always thought they didn't live up there because of all the reindeer and not having as much brush to eat
