Keep you eye on the road, there's a moose loose in Rochester NH

Check out what I saw on my way to the office yesterday!

Moose in Rochester NH

I caught a quick glimpse of this big guy on Blackwater Road in Rochester New Hampshire yesterday, Thursday, October 21st. I was on my way into the office, on a back road and saw this big Bull Moose grazing in a large pasture on the side of the road.

At first glance I though it was a horse from the adjacent farm. I quickly stopped my truck and backed up to take a second look. Sure enough, it was a large Bull Moose. If I had to guess, he was probably around 7 to 7 1/2 feet tall and about the length of my Chevy Trailblazer. He was a big one!!!

I had seen several moose in the wild in the past, just not close to where I live or work. Rochester is one of the largest cities in the Seacoast region of New Hampshire, and encompasses 48 square miles of rolling hills and rivers. With a diverse landscape, it's the ideal setting for wildlife like the moose I saw.

Just another reason I love living where I do!
