We have lots of moose in Ontario, just need to know where to look. I saw 6 within 1.5 km last summer, paddling up a river. And thats only a 3 hour drive from Toronto.
What do you think of this video?

The moose have just recently migrated into the open farm land in the last 10 to 15 years it does seem wierd to hunt them like this but that is how it is.We saw two yesterday in about a 20 mile drive they were standing in the middle of a field and could have easily shot both from the road.
These guys are classic SK truck hunters. With only the one exception, where the guy is a 100 yards from the truck, all of the shooting (both video and rifle) all appears to occur within a few yards of the truck. This year was exceptionally bad for truck hunting thanks in part to the opening of numerous additional seasons throughout much of the Parklands and Grasslands.
As to my opinion of the video... not much

So if you are in Sk,..and on a grid..how exactly are you supposed to hunt when shooting animals on farmland...
Should you walk the 20 miles down the road rather than drive to shoot that deer/moose/whatever in the 20 tree bush in the middle of the quarter section?
So many people comment on what they don't know about...and some from the province, though you may not like to hunt this way, you must admit that not all areas are the same, especially south vs north
Northern Saskatchewan is one thing,..but in the south,..it is pretty difficult to hunt farmland that does not have a road very close...
If I had parked my truck at the gate where I hunted and walked a mile I would have been walking over plian open field and hit another road..similar to hunting on a checkerboard...
I hear of so many non road hunters... how many use their quads??
same thing IMO...
A little less judgig and a little more appreciation of the diversity in hunting Canada is needed..

my friends get a call from the local farmers they drive out and shot" i call it dial a moose"
ive had many quad hunters bust up areas ive hunted in, its crown land and everyone has
their own rights
i just dont like it ,thats just me after spending a good part of the year trying to find a place no one has hunted then having it ruined with quads is disapointing
again everyone has their rights but i dont have to like it.just have to live with it
sorry

A lot of people drive around in trucks hunting for moose & deer. Not a whole lot of bush around here.

I am totally envious of theose lads in SK. 4 of us busted our asses for 2 weeks calling and walking south of Dryden and only saw one cow which we had no tag for - the wolves that Torontonian tree huggers love so much must have chased them down your way....
The herd may be up in some spots, but it's been declining like crazy in a lot of areas. As you say, you have to know where to look. Just curious, was the area where you saw them protected from hunting - like Algonquin park?
99% of people don't ask to hunt or drive on our land except for geese hunters. I could care less as long as they don't leave huge ruts. My father on the other hand thinks it like driving through his garden. I think you are suppose to ask permission, but no one does during deer season.
lots of bad moose reports in alberta last year with people seeing 12 or more wolves a day,'west of chip lake.
i hunted 8 days for moose last year and only saw 4 bulls(fox Creek)
for me the first days of oct were very off and was not able to hunt late sept

thats why i asked everywhere i know of except crown land you must have permission before entering land .so unless you plan on watching the moose while someone gets permission or ask all the land you intend to drive (which is unlikely) it makes road hunting farm land very fusterating or illegal
it was a warm October. really impacted the rut during the day. they were still active at night though so we had some early morning action, but rather slow.
and I wonder why the moose didnt go down so easy? weird eh?
Therein lies the problem and why I have no use for truck hunters. In my experience truck hunters do not ask permission. In the past 5 years no one has asked for permission to hunt my land and I've found more then a dozen gut piles, including 2 illegally harvested moose during this same period.
As a bird hunter I go to great lengths to secure permission prior to hunting someone else's land. I hunt regularly in the fall and spring and have never been turned down once when asking for permission. But in the last couple of years have been told by an increasing number of land owners that they are sick and tired of hunters hunting without permission.
I guess it should come as no surprise then to all these winshield warriors that APOS just voted in favour of lobbying SERM for mandatory written permission prior to hunting.
I just cant understand all the fighting over hunting on other property,I guess because it just isnt a problem around here,no big egos or ass__ oles I can leave here in the morning and travel miles in any direction and not have any trouble,just stay off the posted land.
But this is still an area where you can rely on your nieghbour through thick and thin.

I find if the animal does not drop to the first shot and I have to take another it's rather.....disappointing - much prefer to drop it with one shot or not shoot at all.
The idea is to be very sure of that first shot, Use a premium bullet and then let it do it's job.

This video is originally my video. I just stumbled across it on this site! Kind of neat to see other people taking interest!
The reason for all the road driving on our moose hunt is because this was the first year that this zone was open to moose hunting......also in a prairie hunt the moose are few and far between making it hard to call and stalk as there are sometimes miles of flat prairie.
