Improving your land and Moose Habitat

So hinge cutting, bedding areas and food plots for deer.....

Can you do anything to your property to make it more appealing for Moose ?

Other than a small fire......

Put a salt box and dig a hole to have a water .....

Good luck ...

I like the fire idea. LOL

Moose travel too much.
They will not confine their entire lives to the small areas that a deer can do.
It takes large scale changes to affect moose -- like a fire

We had a excavator in and cleared several food plots.
On the second day, with the music blaring and the machines roaring, we had 5 cows milling around.
They came in for the maple tops and I suspect the new dirt smell was attractive

But will they be around come hunting season?

IMO it's much easier to hunt where Moose want to be naturally. If you have enough property with hardwoods mix with conifer, a fresh cut over will keep them coming for a while. Salt licks help also. Good Luck

Probably not. Like most wild animals, they seem to know when hunting season is on........

I am always perplexed with the salt lick as hunting tool in the fall-does salt lick actually works in the fall........some claim yeas,but i can not figure this out for a life of me..............

This is very simple to me , for metabolism we need salt human or wild game , we all need it . So if we or wild game not getting it naturally with food we - they eat , will look somewhere else. And they find a salt box , and they visit it as they feel need it . Will learn it where they can find . Moose Bear Deer

Its very popular in Quebec. Most of our tree stand were basically over salt blocks when we use to hunt in Quebec. It always comes back to being set up where Moose are.

Great-Thank you DeerHunter
