Thank you, Regina. Just travel to the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park, or Yellowstone. Elk there are as plentiful as deer are in Texas, but moose take a little exploring to find them in early AM or approaching dusk. I was nearly 50 years old before I got to see my first moose in the wild, and I had searched in moosified territory a number of times. They are worth the effort, though.
