Good pick on the week, should work great for your hunt!
Moose hunting is alot like deer hunting and alot not like deer hunting. Did that make sence?[&:] They respond to calling very well during the rut, just like deer. You aim behind the shoulder, just like a deer. And...um...well that's about what you should take from your deer hunting experience and put toward hunting a moose. They are huge, and not much will spook them when they get into full rut. Say you have got one coming into your call but they hang up and won't come any further. Here is what I do...go for it!Sometimes it works, some times it dosentbut if you don't go after them...well most of the time the storySometimes it works, some times it dosent, Start walking to them and break branches, step in the water if you are hunting in a swamp, grunt like a bull (kind of sounds like wahhh). Guess what I'm saying is that I don't worry too much about making too much noise. Once you hear your first bull coming into your call you will know what I mean. Anyway I walk to them, dosen't matter much if you have thick brush or a clear cut to go through, just don't do alot of side to side motion. They have a hard time telling distance but will catch a side to side motion. I have walked up to several bulls in clear cuts to within 30 yards, just walk straight to them and somtimes I give a little grunt. Sometimes that will make them really really mad though! When they start licking their lips and rubbing their hind legs together.....thats close enough! Its a rush to say the least. Also they will seem closer to you than they really are because of their size, so a rangefinder is a valuable too to have. Here is a great trick that has worked for me. Lets say in the morning you are going to such and such a place to call for moose. The night before go to that exact spot and call and call (cow bawl) for an hour or so. A bull that hears your call will travel that night to that area looking for the cow that made those calls. Then the next morning get there early and start cow calling at first light. I almost always hunt a place in the morning that I hunted the night before and have had very good results in doing this. As with hunting anything, sometimes it works and sometimes it dosen't, but when it works
The best advise I could give you though is to talk with your outfitter as much as you can, and listen. This is the most important thing you can do, listen. Talk to them and see how they like to hunt, some do it different than others and if you have an idea how your hunt is going to go, the better prepared you will be when you get there.
And as far as getting it home,,,,again talk to the outfitter/guide that you have. They do this for a living and will hopefully do it right.
Good luck and let us know how you do!
