Best condition for calling is no wind.
Frosty mornings in late Sept. are best.....when the leaves are falling.
Overcast ,fog, misty days
Find a secluded spot.
Lakes, marshes, beaver ponds.
Soft cow calls at first legal light.
Wait 15 minutes between calls.
Water splashing, urinating in water,.
Be patient and wait.
Try to stay upwind and out of sight of beavers and squirrels unless you want them slapping their tales and chattering at you all day long.
As morning or time passes increase loudness and put some emotion into calling.
Lots of times Cows are being harrassed by immature bulls and they are calling to more mature males to come to rescue.
So If a Bull comes into 200 yards and you hear him raking.....thrash brush as well, and mix in some bull grunts.
Otherwise he might get suspicious....
Sometimes, IF they have been called in the past or earlier in the season they will slip in silently from downwind toncheck for scent....so its handy to have a partner 100 yards downwind.
If you dont get a response dont assume a Moose isnt on the way.
Keep.working that area for at least a few days IF you seen good sign or have seen Moose.
I like to change calling spots by a few hundred yards.
Good luck.
I head out for Archery Moose on Friday....the funnest hunt of the year.
