I know that calling can be very effective for bull Moose. Does calling also attract cow Moose?
Any tips on getting in bow range of a cow moose if you have an antlerless Moose tag? Thanks.
Only ever called to the males. I have had cows come out to the line and see who was making that awful racket. The few times an uncle had a cow tag, they were just spotted while out hunting.
Hunting up north one year where two pipelines crossed. I tried calling and had a bull respond what sounded about a mile away. Prior to the bull coming i had 3 cows come in. I stayed motion less and the one cow came within 10 yards. When she would look away i would grunt. She was confused as hell. Then finally when the bull showed up and i shot him at 50 yards the cows ran to about a 100 yards and watched as i field dressed the bull.
Cows will come in if you are emulating a bull by raking bush and using bull grunts. I had 4 show up 2 with calves one session.
Pretty embarrassing as a guide when they are all that show up. lol
I called in a cow last season with a mixture of cow calls and grunts. Once I saw her I stopped calling and after 30 mins or so she started feeding on willows. Shorty after I heard some branches to my left and realised a bull was following her from a distance
Cows will come into cow calls as well as bull grunts I have had them come in on a number of occasions. They are curious I was putting a stand up for deer a few years back thanksgiving long weekend and making some noise putting it up and a cow came out and pestered my daughter and I for about 10 min . It was as close as 5 yds several times

Hopefully I will get a chance to hear you in action sometimes this season.
It's hard for a mother to ignore her children in danger. You can find plenty of support if you search it. Apparently it even works on cows without calves because they have such a maternal instinct. Moose aren't as wily as deer so you can get them with a lot of dirty tricks. I like the Jim Shockey canoe paddle a lot too.
