Very cool to see. Where I am from (the Nordics) we do moose calls when hunting but usually without the birch bark lur/trumpet. However our traditional way of herding livestock is to take them out to summer pastures in the outskirts of the lands, the forests and the mountains, and the women who herd the livestock use special calls and it grew into a whole genre of music. They even used it to pass on messages over distances and used is a "identifier" to let people in a pasture know who was coming by in advance (so the had time to put on a kettle of coffee). To their help then hard long (3-6 feet) long birch bark lur/trumpet. I would not be surprised if someone used them to do moose calls while hunting (as we have done that for at least 6000 years in the area) :-)
As a hunter, this makes me so happy to watch. Even if we are from completely different cultures, we are of the same community. I think those of us who immerse ourselves in our surrounding environment and responsibly harvest what we are given have a sort of mutual understanding and appreciation for each other and what it takes to successfully harvest an animal. The only thing that made me a bit sad about this vodeo is his explaination of how you can tell it is a basswood. You can tell a basswood tree the same way you can tell an aspen tree....because of the way that it is 😂
