Awesome experience. Good calling. Nice to know your birch unit works.
Thanks for the pictures. We got skunked for our moose rifle season last week. Now it's deer rifle season on 03 Nov
Cheers

The birch call is really just a "megaphone" to amplify and direct the call. The actual calls are made with your own vocal sounds.
I'll tell ya, my hunting buds were skeptics and I think were getting a bit pissed off when I would stop and call LOL
They are FIRM believers now. Tony can't believe it how the moose reacted this year. I'm gonna keep practicing, one day I'll call out a monster bull if I'm lucky enough
For those who want to add calling to the mix, I tried the plastic store bought reed type calls... No dice.
I went to youtube of all places and watched 100's of videos of moose being called. Listened to the sounds and sat for hours at home driving my dogs nuts with all the wierd sounds that were coming out of me LOL
The practice seems to have worked this year

That looks pretty damn good to me. Congrats.
Great photos and your spot will remain a guess. I could not figure out where you were although it may have been up towards Babine?? It just snowed here a couple days ago and that should change things for the final LEH. Not everyone was getting their moose and the local guide figured it was just too warm and the animals were not moving very much. Judging by local hunter success the numbers may be be starting to rebound in this area. Congratulations on a successful hunt.
Bland, yer not far off
the first couple days of the opening there were very few hunters around...... as day 4 came to a close, the numbers increased.
MOST guys were driving in trucks road hunting and there were a lot of frustrated looks on guys faces.
the last couple days was a frenzy of the same vehicles plus a whole bunch more. lucky for us, no trucks can get back in where we called our bulls and I really think this is why we had success.
I know of 5 bulls taken in our general area, but heard very few gun shots over the week.
LOADS of bunnys around and decent grouse numbers.
encountered wolves down bluejay and augier so we avoided that area altogether. that said, if you know anyone with a LEH tag to fill..... there were a couple big bull sightings down there

Or for hunters with physical disabilities and permits to shoot from the truck. I see lots of old fellas driving the back roads during deer season. Personally, I support "road hunting" due to the number of vehicle/deer strikes in my area every year. Keeps the old fellas hunting, and keeps the deer away from the grid roads.
I've done my fair share of cruising cutblocks from the comforts of my jeep. Nothing wrong with doing the road hunting thing. Pick up a lot of grouse that way too
If yer walkin or quadding, they always fly, but if yer in a truck, they just sit there LOL
