It is all speculative of course, depending on the LEH results but I was wondering if it was worth calling for moose after the rut?
Not my idea, but my friends want to apply for an October moose hunt in the October 15-31 period in Region 5.

I called and killed a bull during november once. It was a young bull
Totally worth calling!
I like drinking beer and whiskey, shooting guns, jetboating, love a nice rack and a tight line, I am simply a sophisticated redneck...
Our group has hunted the October 15-October 31st draw in Region 5 for 30 years. Absolutely calling is effective at this time. The last time we were there in 2018 we took 4 mature bulls. I got mine on the last day and I had been calling in this particular spot for a few days including the evening before. At first light there were two big bulls bedded down about 100 yards in front of my natural blind I use to call from. There were some great mornings over the years that the air was alive with cows calling. We have also hunted the November 1-15 draw and while hunting is generally tougher we have had bulls come to calls.
Great.
Cow or bull calling?
The one in my picture was Oct 23, so yes cow call.

I had a shared draw one year starting Nov 1, 4 guys so we could take 2 moose. Day one of the hunt I called 2 bulls into the same cut block.
I have had some luck around thanksgiving, but my experience leads me to believe moose numbers have plummeted in some region 5 areas with authorizations and decent odds
Called a bull in to 85 yards on oct 11 last year. Cow calling.
