Our Network HuntingNetwork. Article Index Spotting moose from high vantage points is a common way to start the day. Once a moose is spotted you stalk close and then start calling to bring him out of the cover.
Horses make the job of getting the huge animal back to camp a lot easier.
The moose, as one would expect, the largest of the deer species, is the cause. These huge beasts lumber furtively through the darkest forests of the northern States and Canada, showing themselves for the juggernauts they truly are only during their relatively short late September rutting season. That is the time they tromp mercilessly upon their foes, clashing like titans in the frozen swamps of the hinterlands. Funny thing, but in a paradoxical way, instead of heading to Hawaii for the moose rut, I'm drawn to the north woods every year at this time, like a moth to a light.
