Moose Calling guide on how to
effectively call moose to you.
Please refer to our AUDIO sounds of real
moose calling each other, we offer the buck call, the cow call, and the calf call. The
audio files for calling moose are located at the bottom of the page. You can listen in
Real audio or Windows Media Player. We also suggest you watch our moose hunting videos to
listen and learn to the hunters call.
Brush Thrashing
Brush thrashing sounds can be made several different ways. Try to find a dead spruce and
break some branches off to produce a loud cracking sound. Chopping dry timber with an ax
or using large dry limbs, ax handles, old shoulder blades or other similar items to thrash
brush will also work well.
Bull Grunts

When bulls challenge each other, when they move around in a group of moose while trying to
win cows, and when they respond to calls, they usually do so while making short, deep
grunts at 2 to 3 second intervals. Bull grunts range from hiccups to explosive coughing
sounds, but a deep, “short U” or “Ugh”!!, “Ugh”!! sound, is
probably the easiest to make when trying to imitate a bull.
If you were to wake up in an ugly mood, and decide to pick a fight with some guy on the
street, you could call him any of several different names and probably get the results you
are looking for. A similar situation exists when trying to call a bull in rut. Try to make
your calls to sound as perfect as possible, but just being some what close will usually
do.
Cow Calls
Cow calls can vary in length from 2 seconds up to almost a minute, are usually higher in
pitch than bull grunts and can be made using an “e” “r” or
“errr” sound. Start off low and carry the “r” for what ever length you
want the call to be. Gradually raise the pitch in the middle of the call, and then lower
the pitch again while tapering the call off at the end. Waver the tone on your longer
calls. Pinching your nose and “cupping your hands over your mouth”, will produce
a nasal effect that will make both “bull grunts” and “cow calls” sound
better.
Other Sounds
In addition to brush thrashing, bull grunts and cow calls, also try other noises that fit
the area you are hunting. When near lakes, ponds, rivers, or wet swamps, you can pour
water from any container, into the water to sound like another moose urinating. Make
sounds that a moose would when moving through that terrain.
Here are our audio sounds to call moose that you can listen to, to practice your
moose calling. We also strongly suggest you watch our moose hunting
videos and listen to how the hunters call in the moose. To see the videos click on the
moose hunting videos link in our menu on the left.
