There's a pretty cool blog on this subject that I bookmarked years ago after reading various accounts (including the Ossipee Mountains trace mentioned above). Lots of reader-provided sightings, and you'll have to decide for yourselves which you believe or not.

Still, some good reading.

For years, one of the arguments against there being any in the region has been, "Well, why hasn't anyone found a dead one?" I think about it this way: There are way more moose and bear in the state (by a few orders of magnitude), and when was the last time you found a dead moose or bear? Dead stuff doesn't last long in the woods! Same with the cell phone photo argument. I was REALLY lucky to capture a few moose photos over the years, as well as a couple of bear shots, but all were pretty lame photos, and were taken when I was on foot. Having the presence of mind (plus the fine motor skills) to whip out a phone, activate a camera app, and capture an image is tough. Even tougher (and ill-advised) when driving.

I tend to believe that they are around, and would welcome a sighting.
