Not much I can I add.
Yahoo Yellow Pages does list 2 McDonalds in Madawaska, and Moose are common in the area so It's not impossible, and like Don said the image shows no obvious signs of photoshopping or staging and its not so unbelievable as to be worth the trouble of faking it.
Very plausible.

I've been lurking for quite a while but this is my first post on snopes... so be indulgent.
I think the moose is quite well integrated in the environnement and I don't see why anyone would put time working on such an image but I'd still vote photoshoped for two inconclusive reasons:
1- the shadow at the beast's feet is kindda off tone 2- the moose's arse, though lit by the sun, seems not to cast a shadow (the small bumps in the shadow is, I think, cast by the white thing on the roof)
just my two (canadian) cents
ETA: added "I think", so I will not sound as though my opinion is the absolute truth...

Once again over-analysis runs rampant. The photo is quite obviously not faked. It might be staged, but it certainly isn't photoshopped. This sort of thing is more possible than one would imagine. I don't really see any reason for anyone to photoshop this scene in the first place.

Pardon my moose ignorance, as they don't exactly run rampant where I live...
How big do their antlers get? I'm just trying to figure out how it got it's head wedged in there in the first place. Those drive up windows are small (so people can't reach into the window and rip off the register), so I'm trying my darnedest to figure out how the antlers got in there.
Again, not doubting the photo, just wondering about the antlers.

quote: Mature males shed their antlers once a year in November/December and replace them with new larger ones. They are formed of living tissue supplied by blood through a network of vessels covered with a soft smooth skin called VELVET. Eventually the tissue solidifies, the velvet is scraped off and the antlers become completely formed of mineralised dead matter. Their main function is for display during the mating season and dominance within the herd.
Of course then, it could be a female, also.

It is almost certainly a cow (female) moose. They don't have antlers. Also, this animal seems to be lacking the pendulous "moosehood" that would be expected with a bull.

Judging by the height of the drive-through windows I've been to, and the hight of the average adult moose I've seen, I'm guessing that this is a calf.
I'm also voting for "staged" because the windows at a drive-through usually remain closed. And as moose don't typically eat meat, I can't see how the smell would attract it. But they have been known to be overly curious - especially the young ones.

Not entirely true. When they grow old the antlers tend to get smaller again.
