Idaho_ Elk_ Huntr Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Re: calling moose I tried a couple of moose calls. One morning I heard a cow for the first time and then knew that I was no where close so I tossed my calls. I got my bull the second morning and my wife got hers saturday a week ago. I just dont have much faith in using some of these calls. At least the ones I purchased. From my experience they arent to smart or just have no fear. As for their rut, I was told it peaks around the middle of this month so there should still be some action going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigPaws Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Re: calling moose We call moose with a call we make ourselves out of birch bark.If you haven't called before I wouldn't even try calling.Moose are not stupid and before you take your trip get a friend who knows how to call moose to show you a few tricks.Good luck hope ya get a nice one.

fisherguy Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Re: calling moose I would suspect in your area, much like here the rut is over someting in early October. As far as calling after the rut, i have tried it a few times. On a couple it had some success, on a most seemed to have no impact, and on at least one occasion made a bull wary and head off.
