Electronic calls for moose

index fingers over the nostrils and a long sweeping motion of the hips, few days of practice and your calls are gonna bring the boys to yer yard
no batteries required, it's easier then you think
 
Yes practice make perfect but when you can't practice in the wild and you don't know if you will scare the moose away or bring it in. It is nice to have a back up plan.

Bulls are not that fussy just make sure you have consistentcy...

I also find "no-wind" conditions always play the hugest factor.


More important than calling is making sure there is fresh Bull sign in area, look for fresh raked or busted trees, tracks, rut pits.

When Bulls are in heat of the rut they will be calling(grunting on their own) even IF they do not have a cow.

They are not fussy when coming to a call.

Use a cow call with eee-aaa---rrrrrr-nnnnn sound with nostrils pinched, tongue rolled back and thumbs on side of your throat.

Just about any material can be used as megaphone to amplify the call.


Keep repeating your calling sequence every 15 minutes.....it helps to be near water so you can add some other sounds moose love.

I once called a Bull Moose right through our lakeside camp by getting water at lake for morning wash water...the sound of water splashing while I filled a pail brought a Moose right through camp at 5 AM lol.

Spend time at night listening in dark and you can often hear moose calling cows Bulls and moose mating as well which is cool to hear. I will often bring a bicycle to camp and ride logging roads at 4 a.m....stopping to listen.

Mimic what he does....when he gets closer he may rake a tree ...do the same...try not to be too aggressive just let him know their is another suitor vying for the cow.

Sometimes raking alone will bring in a Bull.

More times than not a Cow will be calling, sometimes agitated and very loud, because she is being harrasssed by an immature bull and wants a more mature bull to mate her(mother nature's instinct). So if an approaching Bull does alot of tree raking and does not get a response of a Bull he will sometimes become silent...sometimes leaving quietly or circling quietly downwind. He becomes suspicious at the lack of response to his challenge....often some tree raking will seal the deal and the Bull will come in on a string, glucking the whole way...
 
Younger days we tried electric callers but always came back to mouth or can calls. Practice in the living room while wife/kids are watching TV or when you are driving but don't get caught by cops while driving:)
 
FoxPro Fusion, there are lots of good moose calls to download on their site. It's got lots of punch to get the sound out there and the remote works excellent with the unit out beyond two hundred yards.
 
Moose are the easiest animal for a human to imitate, and still people want to use electronic gadgets. Kinda sad. How about learning some skills? Listen to some recordings of calling moose, and do it yourself. It is not difficult to learn and is much more versatile than pre-recorded calls. And more satisfying when you call one in.

How is someone out in the field enjoying what they love to do using an electronic caller sad?

I think some think it goes against the "spirit" or the ethics of "fair chase"?

I know an electronic call isn't a slam dunk but it is a great advantage....

I guess it's the same as baiting Deer....some see it as ethical....I see it as unethical and main reason for the decline of Whitetail Herd on forest fringe.
 
I don't think it is unethical, or an advantage to use an electronic call. I think voice calling is really easy to learn, and not particularly difficult to do well using only voice and perhaps a birchbark horn. What's sad is people think that they need to buy more "stuff" because our culture and marketing wizards say so. If buying stuff gives joy, go for it. But in this case not necessary nor any advantage.

Some people are helpless without technology. Moose aren't known for their intelligence, Golf ball can and a wet shoelace will put you in business. :)

I have never used anything but my voice and a birchbark horn... I make a new one every year, as it has become a tradition, but I have been using the same one for about 15 years and have taken half a dozen bulls while using it.
