[Senter Cove Guy]

I wondered when I would ever see a moose. Every Fall, on the day the boat comes out of the water, I take my last ride around Melvin and Moultonboro bays. I always take a quick spin behind Joe's and Poplar islands over by Camp Tecumseh. I saw my first moose walking along the shore by the Camp. It was the middle of October.

Then, about 5 years later in July, one night we were driving south on route 109 from Moultonboro to Melvin Village and encountered a young moose walking along 109 by Suissevale. I passed him then stopped. Backed up and watched him as he continued to walk down the road. We followed for about 15 seconds and then he turned into the woods and was gone. My passengers didn't see him when I passed him and they wondered why I was backing up. Everyone was pretty amazed.
