Now add one last touch to make it a cow communication grunt. Also, your letter “r” will sound more like “rrrrh.” This establishes the basic pitch and tone for all your cow calls. Then, with your tongue rolled back, again say “r.” Note the big difference in nasal sound. Next, cup your hands around your mouth in a calling position and plug off your nostrils (from the bottom) with your two index fingers. Now, say the letter “r,” while keeping the tongue in place.

First, roll your tongue well back so that it lightly touches the roof of your mouth. To get a nasal twang to this sound, do two things. The basic cow grunt will have an “errrh” sound, and when learning to make it, your starting point should be to say the letter “r.” This is a key point, as this sound will be your “pitch” sound. A cow will use low grunts when communicating with her calves and other moose. The following calls have been the most useful for me over the years.įor much of the year, moose vocalization heard most often consists of various grunts. The first step in becoming a caller is to either make friends with an expert caller who will teach you or get a set of good moose-calling instructional videos that can take you through the learning process.

Good instruction, followed with practice, can teach you how to achieve consistency.

The secret is to establish the pitch and tone that you will use in your calling and then strive for consistent delivery. Having a different calling voice than your hunting partners is okay. Moose sound different from one another, just the same as we do. The first thing to realize is that individual moose, the same as humans, have individual voices. With proper instruction, almost anyone who isn’t completely tone deaf can learn to call moose using their voice. The caller pretends to be a bull moose by challenging bulls with grunts and other rut activity, to get one to come out and fight what it perceives to be a challenger for his cow or cows. The second approach uses aggressive tactics. The first uses passive tactics, with the caller pretending to be a cow moose by simulating calls and other actions of a cow in heat, to get a bull moose to respond. The most exciting and effective method of attracting moose to within shooting distance is by calling during the rut.
