Moose Rut

[Fennemonster]

Hello All,

It looks like the moose rut might be firing up soon here. I was in region 7-26 for the last few days looking for an immature. I was up early so in the late afternoon I decided to drive in a cut block and close my eyes for an hour but before I did I let a couple cow calls out. I woke up at around 4:30 PM from my nap, made a quick Mountain House and stepped outside to stretch my legs. As I did I let out another cow call and out of the bush around 600 yards away I seen a moose walking toward me. Put the glass on him and it was a small bull. As it got closer counted 5 points on each side. Small but not small enough. He eventually got to within 90 yards periodically looking up at me but focused on sniffing the ground for that elusive cow :). And man was he slobbering. Anyhow, good luck out there, moose are moving!

Happy hunting.

I’m heading out in exactly 7 days and that post probably gave me a 7 day hard on.

Thanks for the heads up, heading to 7-26 on the 27 to Dolphine lake as we have a group draw, never called one in but can not wait to try. Any advice would be apreciated. Cheers and good luck to all.

saw a bull pushing a cow and grunting then spin a 180 and push off a smaller bull in 7b

Start calling now!!

Lots of bulls are interested yet most guys wait until the rut is well under way, when the bigger bulls are already hooked up with their ladies and it's tough to pull them away.

Had a bull going on the camera last Saturday, the cow had no interest but he sure was!!

Cheers

anyone seen any action in 5-15? catching the back half of Oct. Its late in the runt, but hoping for some young bulls that didn't get their freak on

I'v called large bulls in as early as sept.19th, I think that prime time is sept. 25 to oct. 05 and once you have them respond in the last half of oct. is probably the start of 2nd rut for cows that didn't breed in the first rut.

515A here we have been hunting sunrise to sunset since the 10th and scouted 4 days prior moose sign is abysmal and moose sightings limited to a couple cows on the road... 25 degree Temps make it horrible you will probably be just fine for your draw, the remainder of ours is going to be a tough go

Pics, or it didn’t happen...

[browningboy]

The rut will be in full swing oct 4th-12th (cows and bulls), can bank on it, been like that up north every year for the past 30 years of my hunting experience.
September is for elk hunting, early October is moose!

I can relate. It’s definitely hard to get pics up. I do it through imgur and google chrome on my iPhone. Sometimes it works and sometimes I just give up.
