Northern Maine is CRAWLING with moose. The areas I hunt have more moose per square mile than deer. I'm a deer hunter but I see about 2 or 3 moose (sometimes more) a day while deer hunting. However, I see very few moose from the road anymore. They are there, but they are now "road shy" and your best chance at a large bull will not be (IMHO) from the truck. In the early season, target swamps and bogs with a cow call, especially if it's warm. Later, hardwood ridges and cuts 2+ years old will hold post rut bulls. Red maple "whips" are there favorite browse and any cutting with a good supply of them will surely hold a few swamp donkies.
Good luck and have a blast.
Here is a bedded cow at ten yards that popped her head up as I tracked a monster deer (a common occurrence). The buck walked ten feet from her. The picture of the bed and tracks were made by the deer. Much further up the mountain.
