RE: Ak. moose hunting questions
I've been out scouting nitely now for the past few weeks.
One thing I've noticed more and more is mid day dips, and early evening dips. Meaning where we found decent water (not to nasty), we found moose, including 5 bulls. We'd see them at 1 or 2 in the afternoon as much as we saw them in the evenings.
Same thing tonight, went for a drive and did some grayling fishing, every moose we saw was standing IN water.
As far as movment, well we've had a client video moose that another client in a camp passed on 30 miles away. I believe it was 2 days difference. When they start going and there mind is made up, it can be pretty amazing how fast they go. Early season I wouldnt expect much movement at all.
There is still plenty of food, however I think the better higher quality food right now is going to be either in or on the edge of water sources.
Btw, saw one of the fires burning tonite. Pretty awesome site to behold.
