I’m just getting back from a family trip where we ran into a bunch of moose on the highway and it got me pretty pumped for the rut. Post up a link to your favourite/most informative video you’ve seen to get those bulls in.

the one and only cow moose I have ever listened to for any length of time sounded way more desperate than any calling instructional videos I have ever listened to ….I sat for close to an hour...while bulls grunted around her and me but the bulls stayed in the thick timber til dark….. when I first heard the cow I thought it was my buddy being silly but the splashing and moaning was too loud for a person to do....we shot a bull near there the next day

Here’s one.

This guy is obviously in full rut and desperate.

Can u describe it at all? One long groan out of the cow? How far apart was shebellowing?

I try and do one long cow call every 20 minutes and wait.

So true...we had them around our camp after dark...think desperate horny sex, erratic calling that went on for an hour, if you ve ever heard a cat in heat, the desperation is similar...it changed my idea of calling forever..sounded different than any calling video I've ever heard...I don't think you can call too much in the rut and make lots of noise, they are big animals, sounding like they were breaking 4 inch trees while running around trying to get a ride.....there were 3 different bulls crashing around, one sounded fake, like an unauthentic no excitement monotone guy saying UH UH UH lol we joked he was shitty at being a moose..

I think this video is pre-rut or very early in the rut. The bulls are interested, but not quite stupid enough and they’re not willing to compete with each other for the prize. I think this is what happened to me last fall. I had a few bulls come in, but couldn’t get them to step out in the open.

I had a bull I was calling in, it’s a long story, but I gave up and moved my position. I saw his tracks coming into me after I moved and decided to circle this knob and try to run into him later on without chasing. I stopped midday for a dump, had my bag and rifle laying 30 yards from me and this I want to say giant but pretty big bull came through the trees towards me letting out this hi pitched long grunt thing that I e never heard on any video and they were one after another with no gaps in between.

When my daughter was a baby, fed, dry and comfy, but crying, the best way to get her to stop and smile, was long cow bellows, worked nearly every time. That’s how we communicate around the house now if one of us is looking for the other, good old moose calls haha.

A couple years ago, my lady and I were making a play on a goat. We spooked a bull about 20 minutes prior, I tried a few calls and grunts to get him to come back, but no dice.

Not much longer up the Bush, I heard a grunt from up ahead of us, so made a couple calls back, this guy came in pretty hot. Unfortunately we had already filled a moose tag (group draw, but not greedy), so played him a little bit. My gal was pretty excited, was her first time being part of a moose call in.

Few years back, my then 18 yr daughter and I were out hunting moose. As we were walking in to set up and start calling, I could already hear a moose grunting in the distance. When we finally set up, I started to call, and he responded, and started to come in. Some 40 min or so later, and him just being out of our site, it sounded like he was finally giving up, and turning and walking away, as we could hear his grunting getting further back.
That is when I changed tactics and tried a cow in heat call. Watched a bunch of videos on different calling sounds.

Well, he seemed to turn and came in hot and horny. I could hear his grunting totally changed, and he came in like he owned the place. Just in 100 yards I gave him a grunt to stop him in his tracks, and that is when we lined up to shoot. Her first bull experience, and it will be a lifetime experience at that.

Was close to the bawling of that video on here, above of the Alaska moose. Just a bunch of bawling and going on like she is being harassed by a young bull and doesn't want anything to do with him. Please come and save me bawl to a larger bull.

Bustercluck . I have to tell you the first time I heard someone cow calling on a moose trip I just about fell out of the boat laughing ! I could not believe an animal of that size would sound like that . But I did my research and practiced and I have taken 3 bulls by cow calling . They came right in to me ! You can call with your bare hands or magnify it with a birch call or with what Steven will recommend a Magnum Call . I forgot the name of the fella who is the world guru at moose calling but Steven will tell you . The guru has videos out you can purchase .

Also the artificial scents they make WORK! We hung them in the trees around camp and the bulls would walk the line of scents, unfortunately it was too warm during the day, so they would do it after dark which sucked but the scents definitely coax out the horny bulls..

Hmm great video..
The scent is important too BUCK EXPERT..seems to work best over many years..then code blue..tinks. doesn't seem to work at all period..lol
FOR scent dispensers I recomend TAMPONS..inexpensive. .come with tie up string..soaks up lots of synthetic moose urine..are biodegradable. .and confuses conservation officers when the box of tampons.are spotted on the table with 4 guys in camp lmao

Yes my video, that me walking up to the bull.

It is me grunting at him and him grunting back. I carried my rifle over my head and swayed back and forth. When he raked the bushes, I stepped behind a tree and told him to f*ck off. He finally did. We called him back in again 500 m away and an hour later. He was a little more shy that time and held up in the thick stuff with another cow.

I have done this many times with bulls; get them going and them challenge them, don't be shy. If he is a bigger bull, he will come to challenge you back. If not them he was either ass kicked by another bull or is a small bull.

They are fun to hunt!!
