Our climate is so damp that moose in Newfoundland don't need to tie themselves to a pond. Being near a large source of fresh water like a pond is not necessary in Newfoundland, adds Art, who says he's never seen a moose feeding at a pond in all his years of hunting. Select an area that includes several different types of woods because moose will likely be in a place that has a wide variety of vegetation. If you hear a moose calling, crack tree limbs or make other sounds a moose might make while moving through the woods. If you make the right noises, you may actually mimic another moose and act as a lure. You might think it's pertinent to sit still and remain silent while waiting for moose, however, this isn't always the case. It might be a couple of hours before a moose shows up, but you shouldn't call any sooner than another 20 minutes to a half hour." "A lot of times, just call once and that will take care of it. But, he cautions, some hunters are foiled by their own impatience, calling too often and making moose suspicious. The most successful sound to call a bull moose is the cow call, "the long bellow," says Art. Making the sound through a rolled up piece of birch bark works just as effectively, he adds. Hunters can purchase pre-recorded moose calls at a wide range of prices however, Art says you need nothing more than your own hands curled around your mouth to deliver a moose call.
