The North west part of the province does have one of the best herds right now. I bow hunt in NW and we do very well in the call. When are you going? I usually hunt the first week of October. I have found the moose in the area to be very vocal, but they don' t usually scream in or even talk all the way. It really depends on mood, area and stage. Yes it is true they can give you a face to face, last fall one guy in our party arrowed a 46" at 10 yards, another 38" was taken at 14 yards...it surely is fun. However I must warn you last years tick situation put the population in an all time low, many rifle season were cancelled and the draw was cut in half for 2002. Some talk of possibly not allowing any moose hunting this fall 03, not sure if that effects the indian reservation hunts...just some facts.
