Where there is swamp there are usually moose as they like that type of area.
We have them all over this area but you usually have to know where to look.
Off the beaten path works best either early morning or early evening.
Like those that call driving around in a truck hunting, you usually don't see many from a vehicle as they do tend to run off when a car approaches, so throw on some hiking shoes and get out in the woods near marsh or swamp areas and you stand a better chance.
This year seems to be a good year for them with the mild winter we had.
We have had 4 near miss drives up to Maine this year. Last drive up 2 weeks ago was the first time since spring we did not see at least a half dozen moose mixed in with fox, deer and raccoon.
