British Columbia is home to the Canadian sub species of moose, these moose can be found anywhere from the heavily forested willow swamps to the high valley basins. During the calling season in Sept/Oct the bulls are in rut and in search of females, this can make for an exciting hunt!
The early season rut moose hunts take place in the northern coastal region of British Columbia, Canada. Terrain in this part of the province consists of large forested swamps and lakes, as well lush river systems these big B.C. bull moose call home.
On our rut Canadian moose hunts we have many different styles of hunts. All dependent on the conditions each year brings. You can expect to be along side your guide calling and covering ground either by pickup, ATV, or foot. It is best to get set up early when its still calm and the forest is quiet to start calling, as this allows us to hear those faint bull grunts in the distant. This can tend to be a game of patience as you’ll find these moose live in the swampy, willow infested terrain.
The Canadian sub species of moose are in the middle of the size bracket. Being smaller than the Alaska/Yukon species to the north, and larger than the Shiras species to the south.
