Moose hunting in the remote Canadian Shield during the rut can be the most exciting experience of your hunting life. Hearing a 1200 pound animal grunting with every step thrashing his way through the bush like a freight train makes even the most experienced hunters knees shake. When moose hunting in the north country, you will travel by boat to access various areas on the lake to scout for sign. Checking in the lowlands, valleys, beaches and mudflats for fresh tracks, rubs and wallows. Moose sign can be also found on the ridges adjacent to the lake. You will then need to find a place to set up with the wind in mind to call. Once you have made the decision to go on a moose hunt, you should start to practice your moose call. This is essential in your success for hunting in such a vast area for North America’s largest big game. Moose do not like to be out in the open and a consistent moose call is the key to make them show themselves. Moose are all around you in such a remote area. The hunter will have to sound convincing enough to get them to respond and come to you.
