Good point! Some regions require specific permits, and it’s crucial to know if you’re hunting on private land or not.

Don’t forget about the licenses! I’ve seen guys lose out because they didn’t have the correct tags for high fence operations.

That’s so true! The last thing you want is to get fined or worse, lose your hunt because of paperwork.

Legal aspects can get complicated. Some states have different rules for high fence hunting compared to traditional hunts. Always read the fine print!

Where I hunt, I need a separate permit for high fence moose hunts, which adds an extra step. Do check the requirements in your region.

It’s fascinating how regulations can really shape the hunting experience. I wonder if high fence hunting leads to better management of moose populations?

I’ve heard mixed reviews. Some people are all for it, saying it boosts the population, while others think it’s unethical. Thoughts?

I completely agree! Also, consider using scent attractants like moose urine or other lures. It can make a difference in drawing them in.

Don’t forget to wear camo or muted colors! While it’s high fence, the moose can still be skittish. Stay low and quiet for the best chances.
