We offer custom guided interpretive and photo tours
statewide, year-round. The activity and location depends on the season and local
trail/water conditions. We try our best to help you spot a moose, but moose sightings are not guaranteed.
If you don't see one during your 6-hour tour, the tour can be extended a couple hours. You will experience
their northern New England habitat and learn all about the largest land mammal in North
America . Read more about our
moose tours below...
Moose
are found in all regions of New Hampshire, although a higher population is
concentrated in the Great North Woods. They are big--an
adult moose in New Hampshire weighs about 1,000-1,500 pounds.
 Over 200 moose are killed on New Hampshire's highways each year. When driving in
New Hampshire, actively look for moose all the time--you are in their
territory. Moose, usually solitary, can walk ten miles a day through
mountains and valleys, crossing or using the roads as pathways along their
route. They like the salt on and near the roads. Drive slow, avoid overriding your headlights at night,
and use caution around corners. Moose are dark at night and can dart into the road--and
stay there--as you
approach. So "Brake for moose" (stop!), look for other moose around, and wait
for them to move out of your way. If you wish to stop to view moose, pull off
the road out of traffic, and stay in your car. Moose are unpredictable.

Hunting
Over
the last 100 years, New Hampshire's landscape has changed to provide good
habitat for the comeback of the moose population. Increasing beaver population
has created more wetlands; and areas of former farmlands, forest fires, and
clear-cuts are regenerating forests naturally. The population of moose today is
estimated  around 7,000. With no natural predators (formerly wolves and mountain
lions until the early 1900s), the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department now
allows a controlled hunt each fall. 300-400 moose are hunted by residents and
visitors each year to help keep NH's moose population in check. Moose meat is
lean and tasty. You won't find wild game meat for sale in stores or restaurants--it's not legal because it is not tested or treated for diseases like
farm animals. Natives love wild game because we know where our food comes from.
Ask Lucie for her favorite game recipes.

 Outdoor ESCAPES New Hampshire, LLC
We
will take you into the habitats of moose during
spring, summer, autumn, and winter. On our moose safari, we look for tracks,
feeding areas, droppings (scat), beds, fur,
antlers, and other signs in
the forest. As you learn all about moose, you will have a chance to
actually see moose feeding on land or in the water--they eat
40-60 pounds of browse a day!
Custom Location
We will
determine the best location for the date/season you are available with consideration for
the distance you're willing to travel to the meeting place.
 When
and How?
From May to October is a great time to see
moose in rivers by canoeing and kayaking. We can also visit their woodlands
and wetlands habitats by hiking and mountain biking. A snowshoe or cross
country ski trek in the winter will be optimal for seeing moose, or at least
signs of them in
their cooler mountain habitats. We can also take you for a drive in our
S.U.V. to try to spot moose April through October.
Our moose tours are about 6
hours long, and up to two hours longer if you haven't spotted a moose yet.
Sightings are not guaranteed, but you will have spent the day in their
territory learning about them and
their neighbors.
Prices The
price of your tour depends on the number of participants, the type of
trip, and any rental equipment needed. Lunch or dinner is always included.
