It's true... I've never seen a live moose. When my husband and I first moved up to NH from MA morethan 10 years ago, we did drive up "moose alley" and ended up in Errol, which is also pretty good moose viewing area. It was Columbus Day Weekend, and we had lunch and asked the waitress where would be a good place to look for moose. She gave us directions to a ski area up the road. Since there was no snow on the ground the ski place wasn't opened yet. We drove up and found the place on a back road. As we drove, we noticed a lot of pickup trucks parked rather haphazardly on the road and wondered about it. Then we saw a guy park a truck and jump out with rifle in hand and traipse into the woods. We realized it was the beginning of hunting season and high-tailed it back to Moultonboro! I have seen a bobcat on our road, several bears (including the one on the front porch), a fisher and more deer than can be counted. I have seen moose tracks in our dirt road... but no critters!
