make sure that u drive slow and really look in the woods drive at like 5- 15mph and let other drivers pass, i was up there in july and saw a few and if ur lucky you will find quite a few actually that is highly likely.

The locals are gonna love me - I'll have to keep an eye on the rear view mirror, too.

I have made tons of drives up north, simply to see moose. I found the best spot is the "13 mile woods", in Errol following the Androscoggin River.

I usually get up there around 7am. There have been times when the moose are so thick that you need to drive VERY carefully. I can see five or six on some days.

Nice drive, good times.

Thanks - it sounds like spotting a moose may not be as tough as I imagined. Everyone here has been really helpful. Thanks again.
