What an absolutely magnificent animal.

We've all seen videos of Moose on social media, so imagine seeing them in person. How jaw-dropping that must be.

According to the New Hampshire Fish and Game, people often ask them where the best drives are in the Granite State to see a moose, so here you go.

New Hampshire Fish and Game kindly created a list of routes that are perfect for moose sightings. FYI, we're in the final month for the best sightings.

It's usually around dusk, and I'm sure it goes without saying that approaching a moose could be deadly, so don't try the selfie thing. New Hampshire Fish and Game says they can run as fast as a horse and don't always warn you before attacking if they feel threatened.

If they do feel threatened or angry, moose will raise the hackles on their neck, lay their ears back, jerk their nose at you, roll the whites of their eyes -- or just run at you, knock you down and then stomp you until you stop moving. Please give them a wide berth.

New Hampshire Fish and Game says some of the northern ponds are also incredible moose-watching spots.

Moose feed on aquatics early in the morning and at dusk, so, any pond with aquatics may hold moose at these times of year. The best part is that you can fish or kayak while waiting for a moose to show up! Naturally, you’re more likely to see a moose in regions with higher moose densities (north and west).

By the way, if you'd rather experience your moose sightings with a professional tour guide, here are two listed on the New Hampshire Fish and Game website:
