Snowcamoman:
We had a young three year old growler come in to the cow call once but winded us at about 100 yards and left. At least when your hunting moose you are better armed for the event. I think about it every time I am in the alders with a 223 and snowshoe hare distress call. We had a unusually mild winter and I was very surprised that we never saw a single one. They will be out in force as soon as the moose start dropping there calves.
I agree moose are easy to call during the rut because I've had them respond to a squeaky plane door opening. In my experience its just the opposite before the rut. I've had six different bulls we had visuals on and they would not respond to any moose sound WT makes. Three of them stopped looked in the direction of the caller and walked away. They weren't spooked but they weren't impressed either. The other 3 treated it like a non event.
Before the rut and before the big bulls have there harem assembled they are totally unpredictable and in my experience not responsive to a call. If anyone has any experience calling prerut bulls I would sure like to hear it.
