Default Calling Moose

Considering its the second week of September, would moose in general run from or to a call?

Called them in this early, you never know until you try, just got in and see lots of moose sign around my neck of the woods, no tag though, archery is draw here now or my butt would be out there on a mission..

Ran from me this morning but that might be more to do with the caller than the time of year.

I've called moose in the earliest was September 8. But that was up north along the wabasca river early '80's lots of moose back then. Also had them come to a call as late as mid November.

The key is don't over call. A few barks every 20-30 minutes and even less if you get a response. This time of year you might not even get a response they'll sneak in and be there before you know it. Call listen and watch. Conditions should be calm and at first light then the end of the day.

X2 on BW's advice. Shot my first ever archery bull many years ago on September 10. They will be in the shade of the forest this early and you'd be better off hunting them out of a treestand in the bush.
