This past week I have been adding and moving camera traps in
anticipation of the upcoming Massachusetts moose rut. I did get a night video
last week of a cow passing by a trail camera and two minutes later a small bull
followed. In past years my cameras traps started videoing pre-rut activity
mid-September. Hard to believe that’s only a few weeks away.
Scat Swamp has shown the most potential with lots of moose
sign and capturing several bulls on video. Since the dam breached a few weeks
back there hasn’t been any activity in the shallow pond. I spent a morning
bushwhacking out a ways from the breached dam and there was no shortage of
moose droppings.
I hope to video a respectable bull during daylight hours. Last
year TC’s videoed some awesome nighttime rutting footage. I’ve yet to locate a “Wallow
Pool”, maybe this will be the year.
