I have successfully hunted and called in Bull Moose in New Hampshire with a friend several years back. It was not a trophy bull with a 50 inch rack and not even a 40 incher. His body was full grown but small in the antler department.\u00a0 But it was a bull and he was mine. Of course I had some rudimentary skills in vocalization of a bull and having seen dozens of videos of callers work their magic with hands pinching their nostrils and making a cow like sound of another bull grunting behind an imaginary hot female cow moose.<\/p>\n

The bull moose is much like a whitetail buck in that they also grind antlers on trees and destroy bushes to let others know that they are big and mean.<\/p>\n

So I did the same, smashing trees and shaking bushes so hard that my partner though I had lost all my marbles. And I used some cow moose in estrous to scent down wind.<\/p>\n

It all worked!<\/p>\n

But if I were on a real trophy hunt, I would have let him pass as just a young’un.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Not a great rack, but he is on the wall in my home and it makes me happy that he is a New Hampshire Moose.<\/p>\n

A Newfoundland Hunt is in the works! See my earlier article below.<\/p>\n

I am heading to Newfoundland for a trophy bull this September with the same friend except we are going to have to pass on lesser bulls.<\/p>\n

Honestly, I think I have good basic skills to hunt these giants but I want more skill sets before I go.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, I am looking for expert hunting advice that I can use out in the field besides my very limited moose hunting experience. Yes, my moose guide should be very expert too.<\/p>\n

I think I found a book that collects all that wisdom from dozens of hunts below.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This book covers moose from Alaska, across Canada and Newfoundland. With many Newfoundland hunts which I find very helpful.<\/p>\n

The book covers all aspects of the hunt, preparation, weapons and 100 years of field experience and great moose calling advice. I highly recommend it!<\/p>\n

One item that I will purchase for the hunt is a laser bore-sighter for my backpack. I dropped my last scoped rifle in the field and shot confidence went down hill. Luckily I had a back up rifle.<\/p>\n

On this trip my baggage will be very limited in a light aircraft so I can’t even take a hard case.<\/p>\n
