Rut will be over when i hunt Oct.10-16 and calling will be worthless. Anyone have any tips on how to hunt moose in Maine?
Get a cow call first of all as the moose surely will be still rutting. The coffee can trick will not work however. By using a cow call a bull will think a cow is out there wanting it. It took me and a friend 30 minutes last year to get one. The idea during this hunt is to try and draw a bull out to what he thinks is a cow waiting for him. After all most bulls will be with a cow so it will be some what difficult to draw him out. But they do in fact come out to one.

Find an old cutting around 2 to 3 years old and do some calling. Keep an eye out for movement as they can be quiet and most likely will not answer a call during this time of hunting. It will be difficult to find some decent cuttings in your area. You may want to be checking out around Edmunds and Marion Townships. Those areas will most likely have the better cuttings. Good Luck to you.
