Okanagan,

I used to spend my falls and winters in Michigan hunting Whitetail. Those have to be the toughest and wariest critters around. I've called them in, but it can be a time consuming endeavor. Moose are quite a bit easier to call. I will be doing float hunting and go by a lot of oxbows and small fields. My plan is to pull the raft out before the oxbows and openings and try and set up in the wooded areas surrounding. Then I can place the caller where I want and try to get them in to it. With that new Bandit, I'll be able to easily put it up in a tree and keep the sound high off the ground. When big ol' bull comes in, I'll pause the sounds and hopefully get him looking around and heading towards what he heard. Then I can tune down the volume and fire it back up if I need to draw him in more. As long as I keep him from winding me and keep him looking towards the caller I'll be all set. But you know it all sounds good in theory, actually getting things to happen that way are usually tougher once in the field. I just want to make sure to keep those big old guys away from the river and from Muskeg areas.
