This was in Zone 19 which to far south for you.. But they are very plentifull up in zone 3.. Just look for some cutttings from the woodcutters. I like the cuttings that are 2 to 3 years old the best. Some folks like the first year cuttings. The moose will be around the cuttings though. More so if there is a bog nearby.

Hey Jay,

Keep in mind it is a hi piched call unlike the lower pitched call that will sound like a cow calling.. As it is a bull grunt that will need a little practice and calling needs to be kept with in a limited time frame unless they are answering. Then when you think the bull is close.. hold up and lethim find where you are at.

Just a side note for you is that this bull grunt will not work good during the Oct. hunt as the moose are then rutting and a cow call would be needed.. I have an old one that I can not find any where at all. It was called a cow grunt.. This one I have been laugh at and every thing else. But, what the did not realize it will stop a big or little bull up in it's tracks. That is when nothing else wood work and numerous hunters told me they would not come to calls... I blew for a couple of guys last year while going bow hunting. The guide they have laughed at it.. Around an hour later a 700 to 800 lb bull was standing there and they had gone off.. Oh well there was nothing I could do about that. This year I will be taking a camera with me on every trip out in the woods up here.. I am planning on posting a few pics from my camera I recieved this past Christmas..
