Reed style calls for Moose Calls....Do they really work?

The first time I heard one of these moose calls I thought someone was using a duck call. Seriously, it was a terrible sound. I thought to myself, “How is it possible that this thing will call in a Moose?” "Update":I have heard a couple of variations made by different companies now; I can honestly say that some of them actually do sound like a moose. I have not tested any of these in the field so my opinion may be slighted because I prefer the horn, birch bark style.

I would like to hear from you, my readers; do you have any experience using this style of game call? Do they work or do they just scare the moose away?

Acquire the CD entitled "Moose Music" hosted by Dr. Vince Crichton (wildlife biologist) you will hear sounds of moose vocalizing to one another. Once you know what moose sound like in the wild you should be able to imitate them using the call of your choice. If you are unable to mimic the sounds, try a different call. Keep trying different ones until you achieve the results you want.

Here are four reed style calls, all made by reputable game call manufacturers.

Carlton's Deluxe Moose-Call Kit - This moose call belts out perfect moose talk with increased volume. Features a camo cover and attached lanyard. You also get the "Calling Trophy Moose" instructional DVD with exciting footage of the No. 2 PopeYoung moose shot in British Columbia.

The "Moose Mate™" by Quaker Boy is designed to create the mating call of the cow moose and the lost calf call. It features a dual-function protective cap that allows for calling on or off and a compact, enhanced volume design.

Knight & Hale’s new Mega Moose Call features a huge bell for super-long-distance calling of these impressive big game beasts. This call produces the rutting bull moose grunt sound and really pulls in competing bulls. Easy to use and comes with a lanyard for convenience.

The Moose Horn™ Pak by Primos is an open-reed style call that is 100% FREEZEPROOF. The Moose Horn™ reproduces the mating call of an Estrus™ cow.
