such great advice
Moose dont care if you only have 5 days to hunt They are on "moose time"
Some will come charging in like theyre at a Boxing Day sale
Some will feed, sleep, walk, sleep and take their fine time. Maybe even the next day!
You need patience. And also some patience....maybe try being patient too....lol
If its warm out and im in cutlines, i will check for tracks. If they go into the bush, i will circle the whole block looking for exit tracks. If i dont see any exit tracks, hes in there. I may cow call if its cold out but if its warm, i will go back to where the tracks entered and i will walk in after him, following his tracks. Slowly. Like six steps, pause, look, six steps, pause look, until i hit the next cutline or kill him.
youd be surprised how just taking 6 or 10 steps changes your view in the bush.
Wind can get goofy in the bush. I like to believe moose lay down with their back to the wind. That way they can see whats ahead of them and smell whats behind them
Then again Ive been sitting eating lunch and a moose walks up and looks at you......
