whats new in moose calls?
i just tried out my ole can..and it sounds like a cat being scewed by a moose:eek:
 
The best can call we have is an old Baccardi Rum can. the tall narrow can gives an excellent tone.

I also have one of those cheap plastic moose calls from CTC. Not bad, but it takes practice.

I can do a basic grunt by mouth, with just my cupped hands.

It goes Here moosie moosie..... Here moosie moosie, C'mon up and see me big boy

:D
 
I made my own last after seeing the price of the expensive fiberglass calls in the catalogues (around $80+). "Borrowed" a traffic cone for a mold and bought a fiberglass boat repair kit at Canadian Tire ($20). Coat the cone with Pam and lay a couple layer of fiberglass. Sounds great, very sturdy and sounds awesome for rattling agains brushes.
 
make a birch bark call.

I've made a couple out of birch bark, then I stopped in at a sporting goods store in Williams Lake BC while passing through on my way north. They had some there that looked like what I had been trying to make and were only about $20. I bought one and my hunting partner bought another on the way south. Works great. I do one cow call without it, where I pinch my nose with my thumb and index finger of my left hand and the palm of that hand is cupped over my mouth. Then I shake my larynx back and forth with my right hand while doing a whining kind of bawling sound. Thats had good results.

My first experience trying a moose cal went like this.
I had been afraid to try. Always thought my attepts sounded stupid. I made several birch bark calls, and practiced, but never used them hunting.
Then, one day, near last light, I figured what the hell, i cupped my hands, and made my best attempt at a grunt.
The bush fairly exploded about fifty yards up the bank, and a yearling for which i had no tag, came charging up the swamp right at me.
He was in spear chucking distance, and I was looking for a tree to climb (none), when I moved out where he could see me, waved my arm, and said hello to him. He stopped, maybe 20 feet away, and looked me over. Then he turned and calmly walked out across the swamp. I stopped him twice more with grunts from my cupped hands!
I've been calling ever since.

You never know what might work...... Walking down an old logging road heading for my stand and I hear this god awful, pitiful, screeching attempt of a moose call comming from the direction of my stand. Now I'm a little pissed that I didnt get up earlier and someone beat me to my spot.

I took a different T in the road and sat a few kilometers away. I could still hear this fool that was in my intended spot balling away like a moron. It would have been comical how bad his calling was but it seemed to be getting closer and closer. (Is this guy determined to ruin my hunt)

Less than 10 minutes later I got to watch the source of the awful calling walk the far side of a small bog below me. It was a large cow moose getting the #### pestered out of her by a small bull.

Not all cows sound like the ones on the instructional cassette that comes with your call.:D
 
A highway cone works superbly,cut off the small end to open it up and then run a boot lace through for carrying it.Works for raking the brush too.Cheap, indestructable and effective
 
gth. I had a similar thing the day my son, then 11 years old, got his first moose. It was a little early in the evening to check on a cow and her 2 boyfriends that had been hanging out on the far side of an arm of a lake. We were taking our time getting there, checking out other spots as we wondered that way. We started hearing some sort of a shaky, whiny, bawling sound coming from that direction. I thought it was some idiots first attempt at calling. I wondered how anyone could be so lame as to go out in the woods and scare everything away. At least I had put in the time to practise. As with yours, it was the cow's protests, and younger bull that was pestering her. That was the day I learned a new call and Jesse filled the freezer with tender young moose.
 
i called several moose in last year by carrying a collapsable water container, filling it up at a slough, and pouring it back in from about shoulder level. Joined with some grunts, i had some moose come out swaying thier battle gear back and forth. they think a challenger is peeing in thier forest:D
 
I added a moose call to my Foxpro FX3 and had the opportunity to test it while doing some predator hunting earlier in the year. Had a moose occupied with trying to find the source of the sound for nearly 30 minutes before I finally got bored and stood up to let her know where I was.
