inmature bull moose calling

[B.S.A.30/06]

Heading up to 3-38 for a hunt. Does cow calling bring in a spike bull?
Nice to here snow on the kok for our drive up.

I wouldn't get too excited, looks like one day of rain and then back to the sunny skies again. With the full moon, the bulls will be ruttin' all night and sleepin during the day. As for callin immys, I've had them run and used a cow call to turn them back around, but never had one I didn't know was there respond to a call.

Yep! shot in Newfoundland my brother had a bull only license!!! we see many young bulls alot of spikers, 2x2,2x3 and 3x3's back in nfld seems to be the most common!

Any particular brand of call you guys use? This is something I should try!

I use my mouth and use my hands to magnify the sound a bit! but im sure there are calls out there u can buy that sound good but it isnt that hard to call by mouth!

[Steeleco]

I met a guy in the bush that did just that last week, seemed pretty easy. I tried it in my camper later that night, there's no way I'd come running to that painful sound!!!

ah with a bit of practice!!! haha i donno i have a few buddies that sound like there trying to pinch a turd off when the call moose and have seen moose come to the call...lol!some bulls are really dumb at the rut i have seen one come into the sound of our chainsaw when we were cuttin fire wood!:shock: I think he didnt have his hearing aids turned up enough!

We use an empty metal coffee can
drill a small hole in the bottom of can and put a piece of shoe lace through it.Tie knot on inside of can.
Wet the string,grab string by thumb and trigger finger and pull down from can to bottom of string.Smaller cans work better.
No need to buy a call.
Shot lots of moose using this method during the rut
They are so screwed up at that time of year.I think they would come to just about any call.

[Steeleco]

I did the can trick a few years back with not much luck, maybe one more try is in order??

i use my hands and mouth as well, hard to explain it by net though.
you wont hear immies respond with a grunt though you might hear a snort as they blow mucus into their nose to help them id where the "cow" is.
they are trying to be sneaky for fear there might be a bull having come in as well.
calling isnt hard you just need patience. get there an hour before light and call every 10min untill 10 or 11. Dont over do it.
ok i'll try
cup your hands around your mouth and plug your nose
push the back of your toung to the roof of your mouth
and kind of humm "uuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnngggg uuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnngggggg uuuunnnnngggg.
start with your head pointing at the ground then sweep it out and pack to the ground. It prodjects your voice.
and places with an eco help

Nothing beats using your hands. (I know insert joke here.) You always have them, you can vary volume and intensity. I found with the can you always had issues, water, freezing and the fact you have a big ole coffee tin you pack around making noise against EVERYTHING it comes in contact with. Try anytime you come in visual contact with moose try calling. Seize the moment for educational purposes and see the reactions.

Go to Canadian Tire and buy a birch Bark moose call. I just bought one for my dads draw and it works great. Make sure you cow call for about 5-8 seconds, 3-5 times and swing your head around to send the sound every where. I was laughing my ass off as to how I sounded but I know that no two moose sound alike. Google cow bawls there are alot of clips so you can hear how they sound. 80 yrds from our wall tent that is how close I brought the young bull. Have fun!!

Thanks yiorgo, I'll do that. Now I'm going to hand this thread back to B.S.A. as I seem to have taken it over. Sorry :frown::frown:

I bought one of those last year. They resonate the sound just beautifully. They are around $23.00 at Can Tire.

any bull moose will come to a call, in the rut thats what its all about , young ones more so.
