    6-9 early season moose hunting

    So it looks like the southern Region 6 Oct moose bow season is no more. You know, because if the vast numbers of archery moose harvest in southern Region 6 that is affecting the populations.

    I've always hunted moose during the rut. Any tips on how to bowhunt first week of Sept pre rut moose? So far, all I've got is go high. It's a little early for calling. Would raking brush be effective?

    Hunting high meadows would be my strategy. There are moose just not so much near the main pressured areas, yes populations are down but its on the upswing in my opinion. Its any bull, pick a nice looking area and hunt, camp and enjoy. Its any bull

    Early 6-09, head for water. Canoes and small puddles at first and last light have served me well. I’m a rifle guy, but point the bow at the moose and keep straight, it’s amazing how close a guy can get.

    Im with decker, hunt by canoe. High elevation lakes. If the wind is right and you have an educated paddler you can glide right up to them. Early moose is the best meat in the world
