If I were going to Alaska (and travelling at night) I would definitely put one on my vehicle just for peace of mind.

I have several trucking buddies who put them on their rigs after the first deer-truck interaction. Not only was the insurance tab $10,000 plus but they lost use of the rigs for 2-3weeks while waiting for parts. While they lost their income generator you would be out of a place to live, plus the further north you go the fewer and further between repair facilities are.

I hit a small bear with a stock Peterbilt bumper (also did some other minor cosmetic damage)and that cost me $750 at the time, so think what an elk or moose could potentially do.
