Moose filter is a CPL that also imparts a warm tone.

So I'm guessing it's for overcast days? (I'm a fan of polarizers, but the linear kind.)

It actually works better when a normal CPL may result in overly cool tones (or when more normal daylight temp may be more desirable). The Moose filter can help shift color temperature back.

Does the Moose Filter have the rotational ring as a CP Filter ? Or is the Moose Filter just non-rotational filter ?

Being a CPL, it will have rotational ring.

The Moose filter used to make a lot of sense. As stated, it was a warming CPL filter so had a lot of uses. (I never had one but planned to get one.) Then digital hit the scene and I no longer saw the point of the Moose filter over standard CPLs. We still need polarizing filters, but the warmth of a scene can easily be adjusted in Photoshop -- or right on your camera. I've got warming filters that haven't been used since converting to digital. They rob you of light and give nothing in return. IMHO Maybe I'm missing something....

I was just curious and was questioning a standard CP vs Moose.. For a amateur they look the same.. one was darker than the other one.. one reason I asked if the moose rotated as a standard CP did.. Thanks for the information..
