Yeah, it's a tossup for me between Vermont and the Palouse (Inland Oregon, Washington, Idaho area).

In Idaho there was a bull moose that lived on our property with his girlfriend. She'd come up and eat the apples on our tree, and he'd stare at her in love. :)
In Vermont I've only seen a Moose twice so far. Many times more sightings of bears, bobcats, fisher cats.
You definitely see a lot more if you're out on a bike since it's easier to quietly approach animals.

Definitely south of Vergennes then?
Let's narrow it down then.. Rochester? Has a small main strip, it's not on Rt 7.

I stayed in Chester for a time and initially your description reminded me of how it felt to me, but you say it was further north... Are you sure it wasn't though? Dorset maybe?
If it's north of Rutland you have at least 30 towns to narrow down. Good luck.

California tends to get the most attention for forest fires, but it's important to remember it's a problem with the northern neighbors as well. Hard lines against logging combined with stewardship issues have not helped either.
