What do you think, are they still around?

I do notice all these sightings seem to be from tourists, and they never take photos.

Either they habitually hallucinate moose (mooses? meece?) or else some wag likes to get out there and wave antlers at tourists.

I suspect they're just seeing big bull deer or a Wapiti.

Good point. Living where I do, I keep forgetting there's anything bigger than a pig or a goat out there.
