Game Camera Adventures - The Moose Rut

Ойын-сауық

Game Camera Adventures - The Moose Rut follows the chronological order of video and picture clips taken by one of my game cameras. In this video, I briefly show how, and why, I chose this specific location for a game camera placement. Additionally, I show what I did to prep for the camera placement. The video take us the moose antler growth period and includes a lot of interesting rut behavior and vocalizations. Enjoy.

    Excellent insight to these animals here! Thanks for posting. I have a question for you, what do you think causes the moose to go into rut? There seems to be two camps of thought, one is they rut dependent on daylight hours and that’s why they rut sooner north than they do in say Wasilla, generally speaking, the daylight is fading faster up north. Others are adamant that it’s temperature and season, but it also gets colder sooner north than it does south. I’ve had bulls responding to calling and ready to fight in unit 14 late August one year and the same year had bulls running away kicking like a horse in September in upper 13, so I haven’t been able to make any sense of it other than nature is going to do what it wants, so I just go look for sign and listen and go from there, and that’s worked but I’d love to get your 2 cents!

  • @RaisedinAlaska

    @RaisedinAlaska

    That is a fantastic question. I’ll start with I’m not a biologist, but this is my guess: Certainly the rut is really dependent on when the cows come into heat. We, as hunters, focus on the bulls and the younger bulls get wound up early whereas the seasoned bulls generally remain in seclusion until the cows are ready to breed. The mature cows generally come into heat earlier than the young cows. All that said, I think it is the amount of daylight. Last year, here in Anchorage, winter (snow and cold weather) came early, but the rut occurred at the same time of year as past years. Just my guess for what it’s worth.

    @@RaisedinAlaska thank you for your input! I think most hunters know their woods better than the biologist’s do, they’re a good starting point for resources but their grants only let them go so far, hunters live for it! That’s why I like talking to other hunters. I’d say your testimony is very accurate! The moose do seem to go into rut at about the same time yearly regardless of weather, but it’s always cooled off some by then. I’m not totally convinced it’s seasonal as pertaining to the temperature, but I’m almost convinced it’s seasonal as pertaining to the daylight hours available. Im going to try and really pay attention to this in the next few seasons as it could have a huge effect on how I call, but then there’s the mother nature effect, where you just have to go look and see what’s happening regardless of moon cycles or temperature fluctuations, I’m pretty convinced the science is reading the sign and that a calendar can only help so much. Thanks again for the conversation!

    I think they smelled me after I changed the memory card. That said, they may have caught the scent of the paint. I painted the box several weeks prior to putting it in the field. After painting it I left the bear box outside, but moose have a good sense of smell. This year I left the box on the tree so next year I can drop the camera in the box and skip most of the set up, which is my least favorite part of the whole process.

    You know he’s out there. Bigfoot’s super sense is the ability to feel Passive Infra-Red (PIR) or the motion detection system in game cameras and how many phones and cameras are automatically focused. This explains why there are fewer Bigfoot sightings in the age of autofocusing cameras, cell phones and game cameras.😁
