moose advice

[kicker]

My buddy drew a moose tag here in our home state of Idaho. It opens the 30th of August. I was just wondering from you moose experts, what advice you might have on hunting them early. The terrain is heavily forested with some small meadows. There are some mountain lakes up high about 7000 ft. elevation. Where should we start looking for a good bull???


Thanks,
Kicker

KICKER, I HAVE KILLED A COUPLE. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD GOOD LUCK IN ANY WET, BOGGY, SWAPPY TYPE AREAS. ANY TIMBERED AREA CLOSE TO WET AREAS MAKE FOR GOOD BEDDING AREAS ALSO. ALSO LOOK FOR TRANSITION AREAS, I HAVE CAUGHT A FEW BULLS IN THESE OPEN AREAS TOO. LISTEN FOR THERE GRUNTS, AND BE ABLE IDENTIFY THERE SOUNDS, AS WELL AS LEARNING TO CALL THEM YOURSELF. YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED WHAT A LITTLE CALLING CAN DO.(GET A TAPE). AS FOR ELEVATION, I HAVE SEEN MOOSE AT ALL ELEVATIONS UNTIL HEAVY SNOWS HIT. I'M HEADING TO WYOM. FOR MY THIRD MOOSE IN SEPT. IN 2006. GOOD LUCK, YD.
