Northern Maine is CRAWLING with moose. The areas I hunt have more moose per square mile than deer. I'm a deer hunter but I see about 2 or 3 moose (sometimes more) a day while deer hunting. However, I see very few moose from the road anymore. They are there, but they are now "road shy" and your best chance at a large bull will not be (IMHO) from the truck. In the early season, target swamps and bogs with a cow call, especially if it's warm. Later, hardwood ridges and cuts 2+ years old will hold post rut bulls. Red maple "whips" are there favorite browse and any cutting with a good supply of them will surely hold a few swamp donkies.

Good luck and have a blast.



Here is a bedded cow at ten yards that popped her head up as I tracked a monster deer (a common occurrence). The buck walked ten feet from her. The picture of the bed and tracks were made by the deer. Much further up the mountain.

Cool! Good luck, have fun and be careful. I can vouch for the fact that they can be very ornery beasts that dont back down!

Simplify.......
