Make sure you aren't fidgeting around or carrying stuff that makes unnatural sounds like food wrappers and plastic bottles that crinkle. I always unwrapped my bars and stored them in a single Ziploc ahead of time to avoid making all that noise in the bush when you want to open one. Its unbelievable how much noise those plastic foil wrappers and bottles can make in the dead silence of the bush.
Move slowly and deliberately when you must and make sure you have looked hard around you before you do. Moose have an unbelievable way of dialing right in on your position when you are calling and come right to it. It has blown me away more then once to look around and see a moose standing and looking directly at my position, when they weren't there a few seconds ago, and I heard absolutely nothing. I like to refer to them as ghosts, because they can move so silently and effortlessly through the bush that it is amazing.
What WMU are you hunting?

Patience is something that I’ve been building toward for the past number of years. From the sounds of it, I will probably treat them a lot like I treat elk.
I’m hunting in 242 in the Ministick lake bird sanctuary. I’ve done a bit of scouting in there but it’s a really big area that will take a few more trips to get a handle on.
