Moose Sightings

Been eager to see a moose but in the 3 years I've lived here and the 20 years of summer visits, never saw one before. I was riding with a friend about 9:15 tonight returning back down the Moultonborough Neck Road to Long Island - about 1/2 to 1 mile down the Neck Road from the light on Route 25 (before the tree farm), there is a swampy wetlands way back and I've always thought that would be where I'd see one. But tonight, he was a couple of feet off the pavement on the passenger side - what a huge animal - just kind of kept walking along. It wasn't till we were well by that we realized what could have happened (he could have turned left into us). Could not see if he had any antlers - it could have been a she. Anyway, curious about moose sightings by the Forum regulars (and in particular, any in Moultonborough.) They say that there was one on Long Island just recently seen in the last couple of weeks. Brings to mind that old song "You Moose Remember This" and I will! Sorry for the pun but not really.
