    Moose hunting questions.

    Hey all,
    Adult onset Hunter here, never really hunted moose before so any tips or recommendations are greatly appreciated. I drew a November Bull tag in an area I’ve been planning to hunt big horns. I know the area decently well from a few recent spring bear/scouting trips. From what I understand the rut will be over, but calling can sometimes still work in November.
    Not sure if I’ll try calling or still hunting some likely secluded riparian areas looking for a Bull resting after the rut? Also not sure what I’m looking for as far as feed and terrain I should look for.
    Like I said, any insight is appreciated, thanks and good luck to all of you this fall.

    They won't generally respond to calls, but never say never.

    I have found that they are typically grouped up in November(in region 5) and won't be travelling very far unless disturbed. I'd advise covering a lot of ground looking for fresh sign.

    Last time I shot a moose it was beginning of November. Glassed a moose at 600 yards, started calling and he came in like I was reeling him in on a string. This was a young bull so maybe there’s a difference in behaviour based on age...

    If you have areas with lots of willow browse etc it may be a good place to start as they are trying to build up their reserves after the rut.

    I did see a fair amount of sign in the one area I’ve hiked. I also know of people in the past who hunted the management unit in general and have had success, not sure it was the same LEH zone but near by at least.
