I leave Wednesday for moose hunting in Canada. The weather prediction shows rain the first 5 days.[:' (] Do the moose respond to calls in the rain? I know they like clear and cold, but what about the rain? Come on, I need some optimism please.
Rain, smain. Better then warm and sunny. I find the moose move better on overcast and drizzlely days. One advantage is any tracks you find will be fresh.
The rain will also help you smell your way to one Kip! They certainly do stink when they are wet![X(] Good luck to ya I' ll be up there next week with Nub[:-]
AL
BUT over the years I have found that moose will remain active during the rain - especially during this time of year. It always seemed to me that the only thing slowing down their activity during the pre-rut/rut is HOT weather. So long as it' s not hot, I' d say you stand a chance at seeing some good movement.
And with the woods being wet it' ll make it all that much easier for you to sneak up on a big bull and get a shot.
Still hunting in the rain, now your in my wheelhouse. No noise from you, lets you get right down personal with Bullwinkle. You don' t have to be crazy to hunt in the rain but it helps, GOOD LUCK TO ALL.
Moose and rain
