Not our moose. These things are lawless rogues. They pay no mind to all the signs the USFS puts up. But then I guess those signs are meant for out of staters anyway.

I think i should write my local co and tell him we should not have to wear orange anymore dureing rifle moose season considering we are dealing with outlaw moose that are armed.

Thought you guys were talking about poachers. Hearing gunshots in the moose woods when there is no season. :D

The moose around here "shoot" their mouths off so much it's common to see them wearing ear phones as if they were on a pistol range.
Makes them easy to find though. Just listen for the loud pops and sneak right on up.

Lol!guess ill have to switch my hunting methods

New evidence and theories are begining to pop up here: http://newbrunswickhunting.com/forum...n-shot-sounds/

I live around moose territory here and I have never had one come running and shooting at. me. LOL Not even with thier mouths. For the most part they appear to fear me and run the other way. Now I have had more than one cow with a calf or 2 come running straight at me and that sort of made me run as fast as I could to get away from them.. LOL Even then they never shot at me yet.. When they do start shooting at me I hope they miss so as I can bring a gun back to defend myself..

Joking a side.. I know that it is possible for one to step on a piece of dried up dead wood that may appear to sound some what like a gun shot if you are close enough to hear it. Perhaps that is what you have heard. Because no matter how aggitated they have become around me at times non of them ever made the sounds you are saying..

While scouting this past weekend, I had a cow Moose that
had a calf with her make a very loud snort/ grunt/ bellow
sound several times. It was not a normal sound, I think
she was very irritated and letting us know it. I wouldn't
say it sounded exactly like a gunshot but it's the
closest sound to one I've heard a Moose make.
