Sorry to be so long in replying. Just got back from Sport Show. There is no real typical moose hunt in Maine. You can either be sweating your brains out or in 8 inches of snow. The fellows usually get up around 5 a.m. and get out to the area where they will hunt. If you have an Any Moose tag you start calling. I have found that calling a cow is nearly impossible but if you start getting answers from bulls you can be pretty sure he is near or after a nearby cow. If you have a cow tag you need to do some serious in the woods hunting. The animals are usually moving around very early and your best chances are early in the day. If you are smart you will arrive at hunt camp a day early to seriously scout out the hunt areas. Your guide or lodge owner should be able to direct you to active areas and you should have plenty of tracks where you will hunt. Last year we had three moose three days in a row. The fellows came back around 7 a.m. and I went back out with them with my camera to film the retrieval. The video is hillarious. Two of the animals were very, and I mean very, far in the woods. The middle bull was 980 pounds and in a very easily accessable field. The hardest thing was getting it on the trailer. You need to be in good shape and have the equipment to retrieve the animal. A flat trailer is perfect and a 4 wheeler a must. The days of driving down the road and seeing a moose are gone. The dumb animals are gone and when a moose sees a vehicle now they are gone. Any specific questions let me know.
