Aiming at a moving target with a Mosin? (Quick answers Please)

I would say like it's playing quarterback in (american) football when you lead the runner. It's a feel that you get over time.
But it's not something to be doing with a healthy living animal of any kind. As an early post noted, it's very unlikely to hit, no less hit cleanly and that is not hunting. That's slaughtering. Please just say no.
Not that it matters, but accurately swinging that Mosin won't be trivial either.

Wait, that wouldnt just make him run faster? Sorry for my ignorance, as im a bit new to this.

You can lip squeak (I can't), bark, whistle, make some other sound, or I just blow on a grunt tube. You might have to do it several times before they hear you or decide to stop. Sooner or later, their curiosity usually gets the best of them and the stop and turn to look in your direction.

This guy is a friend of mine. He calls it barking, but he is "Wooing!" and it works. "Woo! Woo! Woo!"

One way you can practice shooting at moving targets with a bow or a gun...is to have your partner roll an automobile tire --- that has some cardboard in the inside diameter --- down from top of a hill.

Too qualify to hunt moose in Sweden...you'll have to score on a running moose target, at a gun range.
 
The thing I learned shooting movers is I WONT, while hunting.

I agree with Kraigwy, not a productive method. How do you plan on calling them in, are you going to use a electronic call, or a hand/mouth call. Have you read anything on hunting Yotes and what brings them in close enough to shoot?

Actually when you hunt yotes you need two guns or two shooters. One has a rifle the other one has a shotgun loaded with 00 buck or BB. When they come in really close it is a WTSHTF moment. You need a shotgun.
 
g.willikers --- Ha ha ha...Shooting at a running moose target that's mounted on some kind of track; I gather. It might be Switzerland or Sweden that you'll have to qualify with three shots. I forgot how fast the moose target is moving, or how far away the shooter has to be; since I read about it in a gun magazine, many years ago.
