You have to remember that moose move around a lot with the seasons. Where you see moose in the spring, doesn't mean they will be there in the fall. Or even what time of the fall. August is their favourite time for eating water lily roots in shallow lakes and ponds. If you find such a pond, with well beaten, fresh moose paths coming to it, you should get a moose there until maybe the middle of September. September, October, look for them in green, virgin timber, (if you have any left) the type with willow and alder draws, or swamps scattered through them.
Moose migrate, sometimes as far as seventy five miles or more, to get to winter range. In Prince George, try and talk to the oldest hunter you can, and see if he remebers the great migrations that used to cross the, fairly newly built, Hart Highway. At that time season opened for any bull moose the first of September and closed the 15th of December. About the last two weeks of the season, great numbers of moose crossed the highway, from about four, to ten miles south of Summit Lake. They came from the west and north-west and were headed to the flats along the Fraser River to winter. The mighty hunters of the day used to slowly cruise along that stretch of road, back and forth, all day long! Soon gut piles were everywhere, as the only road shooting restrictin was something like, "No shooting over, along, or across, any travelled road."
