European moose
Alces alces
The European moose is a majestic herbivore well known for its big antlers.
The antler crown shows what level of fertility and strength the individual moose possesses.
The antlers are shed each year and are one of the fastest growing animal organs reaching a growth rate of up to 1.9 cm a day.
The Moose can be found in North America, Europe and Asia. In Sweden the largest moose reach up to 2 meters high at the shoulders and weigh 600-700 kilos.
It is expected that bulls that measures 250-350 CIC points. The Swedish record is 420 CIC points.
Moose is a solitary animal, although during the mating season they are closer in proximity.
The Moose hunt in Sweden has strong traditional value and aside from the meat that the hunt provides, the antlers are a sought after hunting trophy.
We hunt moose with specially trained free-running dogs that work independently and hold the moose at bay, so that the hunter can stalk and get into position to shoot. This method has long tradition in Scandinavia.
During the moose mating season, we hunt by calling. This method is the best if you are looking for bulls.
The season starts in September and ends in November.
Normally the best time is the end of September and the first half of October, when the bulls are easier to call.
