Agreed this is my favorite time of year, love the crispness in the air as the sun comes up and drops down. Elk up here are behind, not a peep in archery season had some silent young bulls but never envoked a single response. I hear they are getting vocal now..figures archery is done! Heading up in a week with the big stick..hopefully they'll be talking then. Can't wait!

In terms of moose here last week of sept till mid october is when you can get bulls responding well, they'll respond at other times more apt to respond favorably to calling efforts. Full on rut is usually first week of october in the forest areas I hunt in northern saskatchewan. Here frost seems to get them rippin'. Many a time nothing great then wake up to a hard frost and action.

Any way best of luck on your hunt.
