Moose

The Moose (Alces alces), is the largest species of deer. With large, palmated antlers, dark fur, and long legs, the moose is no doubt an awesome animal to hunt. Their range may extend from all of Alaska, to every bit of Canada, and the north edge of the United States.

Feeding
Moose commonly feed on water plants, often dunking their heads to get at the roots of reeds or water lilies. They will also sometimes feed on thin willow branches.

Rut (beginning of September)
Moose are mostly solitary, until the rut comes around. This time of year, they can become quite aggressive, known to slam into vehicles. If you are hunting during the rut, calling in a moose could turn out effective; cup your hands or make birch bark into a cone shape, and make a group of short grunts, which sound like a cow in heat.
