Can anyone tell me how many days apart are the peak of Moose rut and Elk rut in a region where the two species co-exist. Which comes first.
Reason I want to know this is there is supposedly a small population of moose in the same area where I'm going to hunt Elk.
Elk rut here peaks from Mid March to Mid-April. I'm going early April, and want to know if there's a possibility that Moose rut would be before or after this time.

Where I live in northwest Montana the moose rut a little later than the elk. The elk rut peaks in late September, the moose rut is longer and more drawn out but peaks in early to mid October, but you can start seeing bulls with cows in late September and going all the way into early november.

Probably about a two week difference.

I detect a bit of an over-lap, Moose starting as Elk are finishing. Have you ever hunted the two species in rut, at the same time?
Anyone know what the gestation period is of these two species. Elk I think is about 240 days. Rut Late March-April and Fawning Nov-Dec.
