Hoping to draw a tag for a late October Moose Hunt. Any good rutting or attraction calls I should get if I am lucky enough to draw a tag?? The place I would be hunting has a pretty good population of moose with some really good bulls. Any info would be appreciated.

RE: Good Fall Moose Call
Many of the Newfi guides use just their voice and some use a birchbark megaphone to send the call further. I have seen guys around here call in bulls with a coffee can and a piece of wet string hanging out the center of the bottom of the can. They just crab the string and pull down slowly away from the can and it makes a wonderful cow moan. With a little practice you can make the same call by just using your voice though.

The coffe can and string works well,although I prefer to just cup my hands and use my voice.In reality moose aren't overly smart as far as calls go and will come to anything even resembling another moose.Rent a video and learn what a cow call should sound like and you should have no problems at least getting close with the can and string.
Voicebox, maybe a birchbark or similar for amplifing and know/learn the cow calls, should beset. Cow call is basically like a domestic cow but far more nasally (errrr aaaaa hh). Many find pinching one or both nostrils gets them the nasal sound they are wanting to produce, so get some tapes or videos and practice longside.
Search for videos called "Love, Thunder and Bull" I and II. They walk you through moose calling using your own voice and they have some really great footage. You'll be grunting like a bull and pissing down your leg by the end of the tape!
