I hunted with my brother in 2020 (bull tag) and while we did have action on rutting bulls, the cows kept to the thick stuff. Weather was clear, hot, and dry. Daytime activity was extremely limited. We hunted 10 days, did not end up with a moose and bailed for a week and a half. It cooled off, leaves began to fall and a trace of snow came in. Moose were everywhere. We saw more cows in one morning packing out the bull than the first trip total. Moose are big and slow to breakdown and process. Make life easy and skip the opener. I would combine the hunt with deer season and hunt October 20-November 4 or so.

I would wait til the leaves are off the trees and temps drop. Anything over probably 50 ish degrees in October and moose don't like to come out of the thick creek bottoms. Not saying they don't, just not as often.
