Alex Gouthro has done first-time moose hunters and old veterans alike a great service in putting his years of experience on film in his Moose Madness DVD series. After giving you a full understanding of the moose rut and teaching you how to call moose, he provides in-depth explanations backed with easy-to-understand diagrams so that someone who has never moose hunted before can quickly learn how to pinpoint the best spots to hunt and then set up in ways that will stack the odds in their favor to connect. Learning to call is only half the battle in harvesting a moose because so much can, and does, happen after that bull starts headed your way. Alex’s instructions take you well beyond the first grunt, explaining how to handle various responses and coax that bull in, how to handle shot placement, and even how to process the downed animal. And most entertaining of all, he backs it all up with incredible on-film responses from wild bull moose.

If you are looking for a video filled with kill after kill, Moose Madness isn’t for you. But if your goal is to learn practical techniques and tactics to find and call in your own bull, and how to handle that bull once he is coming in, Moose Madness is without question the best instructive tool money can buy. I only wish I had this information before I went on my first hunts.

Footnote: Kevin is an avid hunter and is shown here with a huge bear he harvested while in his favourite moose hunting country – just before guiding moose hunters near Red Lake, Ontario.
