Northwest Ontario is the area of Canada where the two sub-species of Canada Moose overlap and there is a considerable variety in the sizes of the moose found there. There are variables that can effect any moose hunt on any given lake - including bears, wolves, and weather. Furthermore, moose are solitary animals by nature; moose sightings are infrequent in comparison to animal sightings on many other types of hunts, such as deer hunts. While moose outfitters do their best to make sure that clients have an enjoyable hunt experience, they can't guarantee success for every hunter. New moose hunters should be prepared to accept such variables; they are part of moose hunting. Bow hunts take place during the three-week Ontario Moose Archery Season - which coincides with the moose rut. The moose rut usually peaks sometime during those three weeks. Gun hunts take place directly after the archery season, and there is normally some good moose rut activity still taking place. Because these are fly-in hunts, gun moose hunts generally take place earlier in the gun season, before freeze-up takes place on the lakes.

Party Hunting: Hunters should know that Ontario allows 'party hunting' which means that any member of a hunting party may harvest any animal for which the hunting party has the appropriate tag. The only stipulation is that the appropriate tag must be attached to the harvested animal once an animal is taken.
Because Moose bow hunts take place during the rut and are calling hunts, one of the best ways a hunter can prepare himself/herself for this kind of hunt is to learn how to call moose and how to set up the calling hunt. You can do this in two ways. You can find a good moose guide and have that guide teach you the tricks of the trade - or -- you can purchase a comprehensive audio and/or video guide that will take you through all the stages of becoming a successful moose hunter and caller. By far the most extensive product on the market today, is Alex Gouthro's four DVD video series, the "Gouthro's Moose MadnessTM Series On Moose Hunting & Calling". This four-part DVD series took over 5 1/2 years to complete and is easily the most comprehensive video program ever produced on moose hunting & calling, containing six hours of action-packed instructional video. Alex's moose expertise is constantly evident throughout the Gouthro's Moose Madness Series -- It is a superb instructional program! New Product! In November, 2008 Alex completed the "Gouthro's Moose MadnessTM 'Quick-Fix' For The Hunter", a comprehensive two-hour DVD video covering all the essentials needed for the hunter to become an expert moose hunter & caller. While not as extensive as the six-hour Moose Madness Series, this single DVD is crammed-packed with valuable instruction for both beginner and old-time moose hunters & callers alike. It covers all the essentials! This DVD recently won a National Outdoor Writers of Canada 'Communications Award' in the 'Television/Video' category . To learn more about

Many hunters come on
their first hunt using a guide, learn the ropes, and then come back to hunt without a
guide on subsequent trips. Others like to try things on their own,
and learn to call and set up moose hunts before coming on their hunt.
With proper instruction this can be done and saves the cost of a guide.
