Nice, the first one looks like it landed in a real shit hole!
The rut is usually very active until oct. 10th, after that it gets harder and I would stick to cow calls only after that.
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
Yeah I was bellowing like a foghorn haha, they didn't seem to be afraid
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.
