I'm with those that think the hard part of moose hunting happens after the moose is on the ground. In my observations they are more consistent in their patterns as well. This allows you to ambush them more easily when they travel their triangle of moose delights: food - water - hideout.

Moose are pickier eaters so look for where the willows and other buds they like are chewed down and wait for lunch time. All the advice in the thread is solid. You don't have to make moose hunting more complicated than it is. Learn the area and signs, scout, and wait.

I'll leave you with two last tactics. One: their noses are larger and more sensitive than deer, so be even more careful about wind and your approach. Two: Don't shoot a moose in the afternoon unless it's the biggest you've seen in your life, and even then think about sitting on it until the next morning.
