Today, Estonia is proud to sustain an optimal moose population. The mating season lasts from late August until early October. Males fight each other for the right to be the leading male. The leading male can inseminate up to seven females during the mating season. The gestation period is approximately 7.5 months, and the calves are born in May. Usually, one to two calves are born and in rare cases three. Adult animals can weigh up to 300-500 kilograms, and calves weigh around 100 kilograms. The natural enemies of the Moose are the wolf and bear. Read more

Description

Moose can be hunted from September 15 to December 15

During the mating season ( September 15th till end of September ) hunting is done by stalking and imitating the voice of the female or male. Only male moose can be harvested then.

Starting from October hunting is done mainly with dogs.
In the evenings, there is also the possibility to hunt from the rooftops next to the feeding fields or salt stones.

Every year more than 6000 moose are hunted in Estonia.
