I say go to your nearest moose filled area, without a guide, so scout a little before season! And call and walk lots, pay attention to your lakes and sloughs (good set of hip waders is gold) Use top quality scents and take your time, for their size moose can be very quiet until they are near you. So pay very close attention and they are blind so you dont need to be invisible, but the hearing on them is unreal, they dont mind you walking heavy, they think it is another moose, but call as you go. and watch behind, you might find one on you tail, lol. But that will be the cheapest and the most enjoyable time you will ever have, simple is key here. If you hunt a lake , you can even troll the lake slowly( If laws allow) And call out of the boat, my moose was shot out of the boat, but go slow.the motor doesnt bother them, neither does a quad engine, but keep the rpms low. When i shot , i heard another bull calling to him after i let loose!!! Calling is awesome. But you dont need a guide, hunting with a guide i feel isnt even hunting, all you are is the shooter, the real hunter is your guide, to me that should be his trophy. By yourself will be cheap and satisfying but you will definately need a partner to go with , lets faceit they arent deer!!!! Good Luck
