Archery Draw

[Brett202]

Hi Everyone,

Looking for anyone willing to share advice on region 6-1. My buddy and I pulled an Archery Bull tag in the draw. A little background:

Neither of us have hunted moose with a bow before.

Both of us put in the time with our archery kits to be as accurate as we can.

We have successfully hunted moose with a rifle, but probably don't have enough skill or knowledge to consistently get within 50yds of a bull yet.

I'm certainly not asking for any honey holes here but if anyone has any region specific advice or techniques for bow hunting moose we are all ears.

rut timing is everything, bring em in on a string to 20m, can be done when things work out
read up on decoying bulls, it works

Thanks high horse, I will look that up for sure!

As does effective calling.
Had them within 10 feet many times.

Learn how to mimic both a cow & a bull effectively.
That combined with timing and what Hal suggests is The Ticket.

Cheers & Best of Luck!

Thanks Nog! It seems around here (near kamloops) that the bulls are really active last week of October, is it similar in the Skeena or earlier?

More often that not, the beginning of October.

Roger that, thanks for the info.

Find a good trail with lots of action on it. Move 10 meters off trail on the high side and set up tree stand - start calling.

Myself & 2 buds were successful on LEH draw (rifle) in 6-1 in 2018. We have the same draw again this year . Last year my buds went there for GOS & left empty handed. Anyhow, our bull was taken the end of September early evening & the rut was certainly on. The bull came out of the woods about 50 yards from the shooter looking for trouble. About the same distance to the FSR from where he was dropped.

Wow you must be very lucky ,We have had that draw a few times in 6-1 to no success.
