MOOSE AND THE WAY 
TO CALL THEM 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 585) 
great shoulders. Heeding the guide’s 
warning to shoot low, you press the trig- 
ger. While the wicked whip of smokeless 
powder tears the frosty air asunder and 
goes jostling about from rock to rock and 
up against the far away ridges with a 
roar, your moose makes a quick flinching 
jump, a couple of long strides, stumbles, 
and comes crash upon his nose and horns. 
“Good shot!” chuckles the guide, “right 
through the heart, shake.” 
M uch has been written about the 
sportsmanship of moose calling, 
pro and con. Personally, I con- 
sider it the acme of sport. Let those who 
have decried it make a long trip after 
moose during the calling season and be 
unlucky enough to have the weather 
stormy and windy; perhaps not a still 
evening or morning fit for calling, and 
their opinion upon the subject will mate- 
rially change. The slightest breeze is 
nearly always fatal to success. Moose 
invariably take advantage of the wind 
to scent you. A moose may sometimes 
stand and gaze at you with wonder and 
surprise to satisfy his curiosity. Just 
one faint sniff of the “man smell” and 
away he goes. It is astonishing at what 
a distance he can locate you with his 
wonderfully accurate nose. 
A word about calls and a few DONT’s. 
My friend, Mr. Boylston, introduced the 
-papier mache horn here in Nova Scotia. 
I have one and like it. Ed. Sullivan, one 
of our best guides, uses one and if he 
could not get a duplicate would not part 
with it. The very clear bore seems to 
send sound to a great distance. Celluloid 
is said to be even better but requires 
more care as it is easily broken. Nearly 
all Nova-Scotia guides use the birch bark 
call. It is easily made and will stand any 
amount of wet and rough usage. Some 
use a longer horn than others and the 
size of bore also varies with individual 
tastes. A long horn seems to send sound 
better. A man with a coarse voice gen- 
erally has a preference for a long horn 
with a small bore and -vice vena. 
Don’t select your calling place near 
running water, the rumble and babble 
of which will interfere with your hear- 
ing. Don’t call from high ground at 
night time, as a moose will always ap- 
proach from low ground at night and if 
you look down at him it is almost impos- 
sible to see plainly enough to shoot with 
accuracy against a back-ground of woods. 
Lastly, don’t insist upon your guide call- 
ing when he decides not to. He knows 
when it is or is not fit to call. 
Here’s good luck to all real sportsmen. 
May you be fortunate in having a good 
guide and frosty mornings during the ap- 
proaching “calling season” and may you 
come back with a higher appreciation of 
the art and sportsmanship of moose 
calling.
