I mean for us suburbanites and local hikers, seeing a moose is a novelty and generally considered a positive event. In remote areas obviously they're more common, do people consider them a nuisance?

I'm a snowmobiler and as far as I know there is no tension, I love seeing wildlife and try not to harass them. About 6 years ago I was going thru the trail in Center Harbor, I came around a corner and a large buck was standing there in the middle of the trail I was probably about 50 feet from him, I shut down, looked for a tree to hide behind in case, then just waited. He looked at me for a few seconds, then pranced off. I started back up then drove on my way. While it was cool to see the deer, it was large and can do a lot of damage to you if it wants, I don't understand chasing down any animal with a snowmobile.
