Series
On Moose Hunting & Calling

The Gouthro's
Moose Madness Series on Moose Hunting & Calling is one of those
great educational tools I wish would have been available a few years
ago when I was having such a difficult time tagging a moose. All
the "free advice" I received from well- meaning moose advisors
hardly scratched the surface compared to the in-depth studies and
experience of Alex Gouthro -- the 'Moose Man'.

This man knows what he is talking about, and I've personally seen him in action. Back in 1993 Alex guided me on an Ontario bow hunt, and called in the first bull moose I ever killed. The bull came grunting from over half a mile away and swam across a lake to get to us. His techniques and tactics work, and the Moose Madness Series belongs in every hunter's DVD library.

For most bowhunters a wilderness hunt for moose is the dream of a lifetime. When we think about moose hunting, wild scenes of rut-crazed bulls crashing through the brush looking for the intruder play in our minds. Just the thought of hunting these monarchs of the boreal forest can really get our blood pumping. Whether you've got 20 years of moose hunting under your belt or you're planning your first moose hunt ever, the "Gouthro's Moose Madness" Series On Moose Hunting & Calling" is a must have.
Let's face it, moose hunting,
even the do-it-yourself kind, is a considerable investment and the
more you know about your quarry, especially how to call them in
close, the better your chances of success. The "Gouthro's
Moose Madness" Series On Moose Hunting & Calling", six years in the
making, is the most comprehensive DVD series on moose hunting and
calling ever produced. The set includes 4-DVD's with over six
hours of up close and personal moose action and calling instruction.
Primarily filmed in the wilds of Nova Scotia and Northwestern
Ontario, with the remaining footage from other Canadian provinces
and Alaska, the priceless footage of moose in their natural habitat
calling and responding to calls is alone worth the cost of the
series. Add the insight and easy to follow calling and
hunting instruction from Alex "Moose Man" Gouthro, and you've got a
set of moose hunting DVD's that have it all. There's no doubt,
if you're planning to head into the North Country in pursuit of the
magnificent moose, you'll be way ahead of the game if you've learned
the techniques and tactics contained in "Gouthro's Moose Madness"
series on moose hunting and calling.

I am fortunate to have had
the opportunity to hunt moose for the past 35 years and, in
addition, to have have worked with hunters as an outfitter
for 20 of those years.
When I reviewed the Moose Madness Series I was amazed at how well Alex had truly captured the essence of moose and moose hunting. His presentation is very professionally accurate and exceptionally informative. When viewing the DVDs at times I felt that I was right beside Alex while he called and filmed in the woods or from the shores of lakes. The dozens of bull moose you see coming to the call in this series provide proof of the authenticity of the techniques and tactics presented. From my perspective every moose hunter, from the novice to the very experienced, would benefit from having a copy of the Moose Madness Series in his/her library. Despite my experience, my knowledge base certainly expanded as a result of watching this series, particularly in the areas of understanding the moose rut, calling techniques, and handling the various types of bull responses. These DVDs can prepare any hunter for his/her moose hunt.

Alex Gouthro's "Moose Madness" DVD Series is without a doubt the most complete research work ever produced on the subject of calling and hunting moose. His teaching methods are easy to follow and each DVD is packed full of instruction and tips for the hunter, including understanding the moose rut, both passive and aggressive moose calling techniques, moose hunt setups, use of decoys, anatomy & shot placement, and handling bull responses.
Whether you are a beginner or
an experienced hunter, this DVD Series is sure to be your guide to
success next season.
Good Hunting!

The Moose Madness Series has a fabulous tutorial on how you can create the vocalizations of moose yourself and when to use them; however, you should understand that mastering the art of creating the moose vocalizations takes practice before vocally calling on any hunt. But the effort will be worth it because you will have great joy with your new found talent, knowing that you can now attempt to call these majestic animals in with some confidence. With this DVD set in your collection you will have a great resource with which to gauge your progress. I have been recording wildlife for a long time and understand the importance of understanding animal vocalizations. This comprehensive video series certainly develops this understanding when it comes to moose. In fact, we at Foxpro Inc. are presently working on many more moose call vocalizations to offer our customers, many of which are discussed and demonstrated in the Moose Madness Series. In fact, I feel that this series would be an excellent companion to our new moose vocalizations. Our electronic call will easily allow you produce the calls and other sounds of rutting moose, but you still need to have a sound knowledge of the moose rut, an understanding of moose vocalizations, and how to conduct your moose hunt in order to effectively put the calls to good use. The Moose Madness Series gets you on the fast track in gaining this knowledge! If you are planning a moose hunt this series should be on your short list of DVD’s to watch. The extensive footage of moose in their natural environment alone makes the series a worthwhile purchase. Happy Hunting and Good Shooting!

Having produced videos, DVDs and TV
shows since 1986, I have first-hand experience with some of the trials
associated with putting together video footage of hunting big game
species. With that said, I must say that I'm very impressed with
the thoroughness of Alex Gouthro's production on moose hunting &
calling. In the Gouthro's Moose MadnessTM Series, produced through Northwest Video Productions, there is approximately six hours of footage. It leaves nothing uncovered. So for someone wanting to go about understanding moose, and all that is associated with hunting and calling moose, it is all there in the four DVDs making up this Series. I first came to know Alex
some years ago when he came by the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade
Show and visited with me about his plans to produce these DVDs. I
know first hand how much time and effort he put into producing this
video series. I also know how proud he is of it and justly so.
As a testament to how well it was put together, please know that I
learned more than I ever thought I would by viewing the Gouthro's Moose
Madness®
Series. Will Primos Will Primos was the founder and
president of 'Primos Hunting Calls', one of the largest manufacturers of
game calls in North America, including moose calls. Will is still
active with Primos Hunting Calls, and is also a
well-known celebrity professional hunter. Thousands are
familiar with his smiling face in the many hunting videos produced by
his company.

Review By Bob Eastman Gouthro’s Moose Madness DVDs

Hunting moose is a major investment of both money and time. The vision of your hunt, of course, is to first get that moose into shooting range. In my opinion, the ‘Gouthro’s Moose Madness Series On Moose Hunting & Calling’ is one of the best investments a hunter could make to increase the odds of making that happen and having a successful moose hunt. It is the best hunting video series I have ever seen. My advice is: Get your copy now! Your dream of moose hunting success can only be enhanced by spending a few hours with the ‘Moose Madness’ instruction and advice from well-known Canadian moose hunter and guide Alex Gouthro. Good Moose Hunting!
Bob is himself a celebrity Safari Club Bowhunter who was the first person to ever harvest all 29 Gun Grand Slam species of African animals with a bow – one of the greatest bowhunting achievements of all time. www.eastmanoutdoors.com |
There are two ways to becoming a good moose hunter: take a dozen or so hunts with Alex Gouthro or, spend a few hours with the Gouthro’s Moose Madness DVD Series. The hunts will cost you a small fortune; the DVD Series under a hundred bucks. Alex is an experienced guide, outfitter, hunter and professional student of the moose. More importantly he is an experienced and passionate educator who has packaged a lifetime of moose knowledge in an easy to understand and entertaining six-hour DVD package. Unlike most teaching products, Moose Madness has excellent production values. The DVDs are downright thrilling to watch and the calling sequences are exceptional in tone and accuracy. Moose behavior is documented in painstaking (but not painful) detail which is simply captivating to watch. It took Alex several years of filming in the bush to capture the footage but it was worth every black fly bite. I’ve hunted with Alex and can state first hand “the man knows how to hunt moose”. Hunting with Alex taught me more about hunting moose than I had learned in years of reading and preparation --- until now. The Moose Madness Series taught me more about moose and moose hunting than I could learn on a dozen trips to the bush; even with Alex. Fortunately, we now can all become “moose experts” (or at least a whole bunch more knowledgeable) without even swatting a single black fly. The Gouthro’s Moose Madness Series is the most comprehensive treatise on moose biology, moose rut behavior, and moose hunting & calling ever assembled. The chapter on ‘Moose Anatomy & Shot Placement’ is the best treatment of that subject I’ve ever seen. It is dollar for dollar the best purchase a moose hunter and/or enthusiast could ever make - bar none. Don’t take your next moose hunt without first spending some time with Alex in the comfort of your living room. You’ll be well prepared for your hunt! Craig Dougherty |
