I always enjoy exploring new moose territory… or maybe I should say, I enjoy the challenge of finding their territory.
After spending a few hours e-scouting on Google Earth and the onX Hunt app, I picked out a new area to explore this morning. With the recent heat, I knew it was going to be crucial to get there as dawn broke.
Over the years, I’ve also noticed that calm winds can really help get moose up and active. Yesterday was very calm, the wind stayed light through the night, and this morning remained cloudy—all conditions that can help keep moose out in the open a little longer before they disappear back into the cover, especially during these hot summer days.
Thankfully, the scouting paid off.
This morning was a success, and I was able to locate some promising new moose territory. Every new area you learn adds another piece to the puzzle, and this one could come in handy in a few weeks when a few clients arrive hoping to photograph and experience New Brunswick moose for themselves.
Finding moose is rarely about luck alone. It’s about studying the terrain, understanding the conditions, putting in the time, and being there when everything comes together.
