Calling moose to dinner since 1993

The Original Alaska Bull Magnet® Moose Call

The Bull Magnet® is a multi-purpose moose call designed by Alaska Guide & Pilot Wayne Kubat that allows hunters to produce realistic bull grunts, cow calls, and other rutting sounds using a single lightweight tool.

The only question that matters

Will this help me call a moose?

That’s what you’re really asking. You’re not shopping for a megaphone. You’re trying to fill the freezer.

A working Master Guide uses it on his own hunts. Wayne Kubat holds Alaska Master Guide License #147 and has guided-outfitted 300+ big game hunts since 1987. He didn’t license his name to a call. He built it because he needed one.
30,000+ sold since 1993. Thirty-two years. Many of the Originals are still in use.
It works for first-timers. Many of the hunters who write to us had never called a moose before.
It works well outside Alaska. Bulls taken with it in Montana, Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, Washington, Colorado, Ontario, Alberta, BC and Scandinavia.

“In 9 days of hunting, we had 9 bulls around us — 6 within sight. Your call brought 5 of them within rifle range. Not bad for a couple of first-time moose hunters.”

One tool, five jobs

What the Bull Magnet® actually does

It’s a megaphone, and it does five jobs at once. It takes the things I’m already doing in the field with an axe handle, a moose scapula and my cupped hands, and makes them work at distance, from one 11-ounce piece of gear that fits a float-plane hatch.

Amplify

Your own cow calls and bull grunts carry further, with the deep, nasal resonance a real moose has.

Thrash

Raked on brush or struck on dead spruce, it mimics a bull scraping velvet or fighting.

Listen

Small end to your ear: you’ll hear a bull answering two to three times further out.

Flash

Antler-colored, so waving it works as a visual draw for a bull that’s already interested.

Drain water

Scoop and pour near a lake or river and it sounds like a cow urinating.

Who makes it

I’m Wayne Kubat. I’ve guided moose hunts in Alaska for forty years.

I’ve held Alaska Master Guide License #147 since 2004 and I’ve been a registered Alaska big game guide since 1986. I started assistant guiding in 1986. To date I have guide-outfitted over 300 big game hunts for moose, brown and grizzly bear, black bear and Dall sheep. I’ve lived here since 1976, I fly my own Super Cub and have about 7,000 hours of Alaska bush time.

The Bull Magnet® came out of that. I wanted one piece of gear that would do everything I was already doing in the field. My wife Marilyn and I built the first ones by hand out of fiberglass in 1993, trademarked the name, and started selling them out of Wasilla. More than 30,000 have gone out since then to Alaska, across Canada, down through the lower 48, and as far as Denmark.

In June 2025 we changed the material for the first time in thirty-two years. Fiberglass is tough, but it can crack under hard use, it smells, and it rings a little tinny. We tested five candidate materials, six samples of each, with nine of the most experienced moose guides and hunters I know: striking and abusing them down to minus 5°F, leaving them out in the rain and sun. The winner was unanimous. It’s lighter, stronger, and sounds better, and the shape hasn’t changed.

From the letters hunters send us

It works for people who have never called a moose

We’ve never published a negative letter because we’ve never had to invent a positive one. These are real, and they’re dated.

“I shot my first moose at 2:00 in the afternoon on day 1 and was totally stunned by the experience! I spent a lot of money on my moose hunt, but nothing in my pack added as much value as that Bull Magnet.”

M C

“Your call was by far superior, with better volume, tone, and cast. In 9 days of hunting, we had 9 bulls around us — 6 within sight. Your call brought 5 of them within rifle range.”

L C

Bozeman, Montana

“The bull magnet worked its wonders and as advertised for calling, thrashing and amplifying sounds from the bush.”

A M

Ontario, Canada

“I called in 4 big bulls in one day. I am very pleased with the bull magnet.”

Per Nielsen

Denmark

“The bull scored 245 making Boone and Crockett. What I learned from your strategy was patience pays off.”

Clay Landry

Idaho

“Well Wayne — the new style bull magnet did sound more crisp. Worked great with a mix of cow calls followed by small bull grunts.”

The most common thing hunters tell me

“I’ve never hunted moose and I don’t know where to start”

That’s fine. Moose calling is easy, and anybody can do it. Even young kids make a good cow call with a little practice, and anybody can break sticks and rake brush.

What separates the hunters who fill a freezer from the ones who don’t isn’t talent. It’s patience, and a willingness to sit on one good spot for three days instead of walking twenty miles and pushing every bull in the country out ahead of you.

And here’s the part most sellers won’t tell you: most response to my calling, even at the peak of rut, takes four to twelve hours, sometimes a day or two. Moose feed at night and are often bedded down when you make your first call at daylight. They’ll pinpoint exactly where the sound came from and come and investigate on their own schedule.

The whole method is on this site, free. Read it before you go.

Born in Alaska Made in the USA

Every Bull Magnet is produced in the U.S.A., with attention to detail so every product meets our high standards and rigorous testing.

From 1993 through 2024, every Bull Magnet® was handcrafted in Alaska from fiberglass, mostly by Marilyn and myself. We now use a different material and process but they are still made in the U.S.A. Every unit is built to strict standards and visually inspected before it ships.

Since 2025 they have been made in the USA using a new process and material, then shipped to our home in Wasilla. We distribute every one from there.

A word of caution: read this before you call

Rutting bulls are dangerous and can cover ground fast. Bears (brown, grizzly and black) come to calls too, expecting lunch. So do other hunters. Stay alert, keep your weapon ready, and wear something bright red or hunter orange so you aren’t mistaken for a moose. Use extreme caution when calling moose.

Before you order

Moose call questions, answered

I’ve never hunted moose. Will this help me, or do I need experience?

Moose calling is easy, and anybody can do it. Even young kids make good cow calls with a little practice, and anybody can break sticks and rake brush. The free calling guide on this site is the same method I use on guided hunts. Read it, practice before you go, and be patient. Most of the hunters who write to us are on their first moose hunt.

How does the Bull Magnet® work?

You supply the voice; it supplies the volume and the tone. Make your cow call or bull grunt into the small end and the Bull Magnet® carries it much further and gives it the deep, nasal resonance a real moose has. Raked on brush or struck against a dead spruce it makes the thrashing sound of a bull scraping velvet. Turn it around and put the small end to your ear and it works in reverse, letting you hear a bull answer from two to three times further out. Wave it and the antler color gives you a visual draw. Scoop and pour water from it and you get the sound of a cow urinating. That’s why the calling method on this site is free: the better you call, the better it works.

How long before a bull comes in?

Usually longer than people expect. Most response to my calling, even at the peak of rut, takes four to twelve hours, sometimes a day or two. Moose feed at night and are often bedded down by the time you make your first call at daylight. That’s why the strategy is to commit to one good spot for three days rather than walk the country and push everything out ahead of you.

How is this different from a birch bark horn?

A birch bark horn calls. That’s it. The Bull Magnet® calls, thrashes, listens, flashes and drains water, and it’s far more durable. It won’t soften in the rain and it gives you the same sound in any weather, year after year. Plenty of hunters are still using the one they bought from us fifteen years ago.

Is it worth it for a once-in-a-lifetime tag?

That’s most of who buys it. If you’ve waited twelve years to draw a Shiras tag, the call costs less than a single box of ammunition for most big game calibers. It’s the cheapest thing in your pack that changes the odds.

Will it work outside Alaska?

Yes. The calling strategies apply to all four North American moose subspecies. Timing shifts a little by region. Hunters have taken bulls with it in Montana, Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Washington, Colorado, Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and Scandinavia. Some have also called in elk, wolves, coyotes, fox and bears with it.

What does the Bull Magnet® actually do?

Five things, with one 11-ounce piece of gear. It amplifies your cow calls and bull grunts and gives them a nasal quality. It draws in sound, so you hear a bull answering two to three times further out. Raked on brush or struck against a dead spruce it makes the same sound a bull makes scraping velvet or fighting. It’s antler-colored, so waving it works as a visual flash. And you can scoop and drain water with it to imitate a cow urinating.

Season’s coming

Ready to fill the freezer this fall?

A reminder from 300-plus guided hunts: start calling by mid-afternoon on your first day, not at dawn on your second. You want to be first on the list of spots a listening bull decides to check out.

Good luck and happy hunting. — Wayne
