What do you think, are they still around?
I do notice all these sightings seem to be from tourists, and they never take photos.

I’m very much on the same page, pics or it didn’t happen. If there really was a moose population, there would be prints, poo, antlers, or some other evidence.
Instead, we have a number of sightings, almost always by people from areas where moose live, but no photos.
And I believe the fact it always seems to be Americans or Canadians is significant, perhaps they’re more likely to think moose when they see a shape, rather than a NZer, who would assume it was a deer?
Either they habitually hallucinate moose (mooses? meece?) or else some wag likes to get out there and wave antlers at tourists.
I suspect they’re just seeing big bull deer or a Wapiti.
Good point. Living where I do, I keep forgetting there’s anything bigger than a pig or a goat out there.
