Dumb as moose might look, as stupid as they might behave in the city, they are superbly equipped to avoid people in the wild. The smartest bull moose any hunter is likely to meet are those who live within walking distance of well-traveled roads. They've heard the guns of autumn, and they've seen other moose fall dead. They know the dangers of man better than they know the dangers of bears and wolves. And they understand that man is the easiest predator to outwit.
Hunters can increase their odds by becoming students of moose hunting.
Or they can spend money. Money still can buy entry to areas where Alaska moose remain more worried about wolves and bears than about men. These moose aren't stupid, but they are noticeably less wary than the animals adapted to life on the edge of civilization. The deeper a hunter goes into Bush Alaska, the less wary the moose tend to be. It has a lot more to do with levels of human activity than with moose numbers.
