In reply to Reader Last. Would you mind sharing the location? We're going to be in Rangeley 10/6 & 10/7. We went by the gravel yard last time and saw a couple but they were very far away.

I’ve been to New England three times in the fall and have never seen a moose. Hoping to see one this October 2021 when I go there again.

Funny I’m in East Burke Vermont this year and I have not seen any moose
I am having my breakfast and reading newengland.com like I often do which I love but I did not appreciate the toilet bowl add. Disgusting!

I have a friend that would always go on about a moose she and her husband would often see when they sat out on their back deck after supper. None of us really believed it (used to tell her it was the wine she had after supper) until she had us all get together one evening and there he was, meandering on through the back of the yard! The reason we teased her so about it was she lived in Manchester, CT, about 2 miles from Main St!

In July 2019 my wife, daughter and I booked a tour with Gorham Moose Tours, as part of our summer vacation into the North Woods. Being from Pennsylvania, we don’t get the chance to see moose the way residents of Northern New England do. Our driver and guide, Gary, was very knowledgeable as well as being a storyteller. And he had a lot of stories to share, from his experience as a hunter as well as a tour guide. We were able to see a total of 9 moose on our drive up and down Route 16. We ranged as far east as almost getting into Maine, and west to Signal Mountain Road west of Errol. Our family highly recommends booking with Gorham Moose Tours.

Early December morning on Petersham Road on the way to Athol, MA, a beautiful MALE moose came running down the side of the hill luckily sliding to a halt. He just looked majestic and I know it was a big male because of his huge beautiful rack. I slowed, stopped and watched, as I flashed my lights in case of oncoming cars. He was magnificent and the very first moose I’ve ever seen in my long life.

Christmas Eve morning in Peterborough a 10-12′ Mr. Moose was staring down my barking Golden Retriever “Olaf” on driveway. Merry Christmoose … till he slowly turned & crossed the road. <3

Christmas Eve morning a giant Mr. Moose (10-12′ tall) was starting down my barking Golden Retriever “Olaf” on drive face-to-face 20′ away. It was a Merry Christmoose !
