Re: Moose Calling - bushcrafting and questions
Called these two moose in together early November during A group LEH. Saw the first one across a valley, gave a cow call and they both made a beeline. Shot mine at 15 yards and buddy shot the other one a couple minutes later 100 yards down he road after it bolted when I shot.

Nice, the first one looks like it landed in a real shit hole!
Re: Moose Calling - bushcrafting and questions
The rut is usually very active until oct. 10th, after that it gets harder and I would stick to cow calls only after that.

Yeah that was a doozie. Truck was too far away to drag it out, had 10 feet of chain on a pulley that we were able to rig up and partially pull the moose out and then just did the gutless method. The second one was a breeze lol. Both came in to a long cow call.
Re: Moose Calling - bushcrafting and questions
I will be hunting moose in late oct/early nov this year, and will certainly be calling. Cow calls only, I never have had success with bull grunts. I will softly cow call as i work my way through the bush, if nothing else it causes the moose not to panic when they hear the twigs snapping etc
Re: Moose Calling - bushcrafting and questions
Yeah I was bellowing like a foghorn haha, they didn't seem to be afraid
Re: Moose Calling - bushcrafting and questions
region 3 the rut happens right around Oct 1. Second rut will happen in late oct or early nov. Sometimes they come to calls, sometimes not. I recommend covering ground, lots of it, rather than sitting and callilng.

Wow, those are some decent moose for us southerners :)
