Thanks Skeeter,

My Jim Shockey "Land of the Giants" DVD's have been getting a lot of play lately.Sounds likeol' Pappy is as excited as I am. I don't think he's ever shot a moose, though he tried with his bow a few times. Early draw season runs all of October. Any idea on rut timing? In your experience, when are they most reponsive to calling? Also, are they generally still in the willows and wet areas during the rut or have they moved into the cutblocks (or both)? My only experience with moose has been flying surveys in February so i'm not really sure whereto start looking when the time comes. I'm very fortunate in that I have access to a lot of high-res satellite imagery and GIS layers. I'm hoping to do alot of my "scouting" from my office chair . Hope you don't mind answering a few questions, i'm sure i'll have more as I get closer to the season.
