Details

Set Up ...

Normally, Moose travel and live in the same areas year to year, unless they are driven out by predators or man.

With that in mind, we must be completely versatile and change our set up from year to year.

Thus, we have to scout for Moose activity most of the Spring and Summer in order to locate active movement.

Once numerous areas of activity are located, we choose set up areas for our Archery Hunt in the Fall.

A couple week before the hunt begins, we study the areas intensely to determine the more active areas

to start hunting. We then clear shooting lanes and mark trails for our use to access the spot quietly.

Procedure ...

After arriving at Horwood Lake Lodge, you will get settled into your Cabin and begin to relax after

your long ride. You will attend our mandatory Hunter Orientation Meeting in our Dining Room after dinner

on Saturday evening. At the meeting you will be introduced to your Hosts, Staff and your Outfitter & Guide.

We will then go over the details of your hunt - the "do's and don'ts", and follow up with doing licensing

and paperwork. You will be assigned a great boat and motor package, so you can get to some great fishing

any time you're not hunting. We also suggest that you use our target area to assure that your

bow's sights didn't get bumped during transportation.

The hunt procedure is not elaborate, it's quite like any other. Hunters quietly get set up in their

chosen spot twice daily - early morning and afternoon.

They then attempt to eliminate all human scent and movement - and being sure to set up down wind

from where the Moose is expected to enter into the area. Calling begins before daylight ...

and let the heart pounding excitement begin ! When you have an animal down, you will return to camp

and inform the Guides and Staff if you require assistance.
