Moose are the primary focus of my long term hunting goals right now and I know that many listeners of this podcast feel the same way. With that in mind, we have a special guest on the show today who has a lot of experience moose hunting: Ron Spomer. Ron will share some of his moose hunting experiences, give us an overview of how people usually hunt moose, and finish off with some recommendations and some valuable lessons he learned along the way.
