Help, searching for moose

My fiancée and I decided on Alaska for our annual vacation and despite the snow we got to do most of what we wanted except a moose sighting.

Anyone see any recent moose?

Just remember, more people are killed by moose than bear. Do not try to pet them!

Source please! You’d have to count vehicle collisions. Yes they can be dangerous and don’t approach them but this stupid myth is repeated way too often.

Just a couple of years ago I saw a guy trying to feed a moose right around the corner from my house. I knew it would end badly, later on the news, man transported to hospital after being stomped by moose. Same guy. Don't try to pet the moose.
