Top 10 Essential Items for Archery Moose Hunting

Moose archery season is upon us, and as every seasoned hunter knows, preparation is key. Whether you're a beginner gearing up for your first hunt or a seasoned archer looking to revisit your equipment list, there are certain essentials you can't leave without.

Here's our pick of the top 10 items for your archery moose hunting adventure:

1. High-Quality Bow and Arrows:

It goes without saying, but investing in a reliable, high-quality bow or crossbow that suits your strength and shooting style is pivotal. Pairing this with carbon or aluminum arrows, along with a sharp, durable broadhead, ensures a humane and effective kill.

2. Rangefinder:

Estimating distance accurately in archery is crucial. A good rangefinder will help you judge distances accurately and increase your chances of a successful shot.

3. Moose Call:

Mimicking a moose's call can be invaluable, especially during the rut. There are various calls available, such as grunt tubes and cow calls. For those who do not feel confident in realistically imitating moose calls, we recommend the Cocall. Familiarize yourself with the sounds and techniques before your hunt through friends, or via the internet. There are tons of videos available.

4. Camouflage Clothing:

Moose have an excellent sense of hearing but relatively poor eyesight. Camouflage clothing tailored to the landscape in which you'll be hunting can offer you an advantage, allowing you to blend seamlessly into your surroundings.

5. Backpack with Essential Supplies:

Bring food, water, a first aid kit, spare clothes, and other essential supplies. Since moose hunting can be lengthy and often unpredictable, it's wise to be prepared for any eventuality. You will find a good selection of backpacks HERE.

6. Scents and Attractants:

Using estrus scents can be particularly effective during the rut. This can lure a bull moose closer, giving you a better shot opportunity. You will find HERE a selection of natural urine that has proven effective over the years.

7. Maps and GPS:

Navigating vast wilderness areas can be challenging. Make sure you're equipped with a detailed map and a reliable GPS device. Knowing the terrain and being able to pinpoint your location can be lifesaving.

8. Binoculars:

Spotting a moose from a distance can save you time and energy. High-quality binoculars with a broad field of view are essential for this purpose.

9. Field Dressing Kit:

If fortune favors you during your hunt, you'll need a comprehensive field dressing kit. This includes sharp knives, gloves, and other tools to efficiently and cleanly process your catch.

10. Safety Gear:

This category comprises items like a whistle, bear spray, a lighter, and a knife. The wilderness is unpredictable, making safety paramount at all times.

The thrill of moose hunting, especially with a bow, is unparalleled. It's a test of skill, patience, and endurance. By equipping yourself with the right gear, you not only increase your chances of success but also ensure a safe and memorable hunting experience.
