All,
Anyone know the reasoning behind the Oct 1-15 no moose hunting of these areas? I see its also in parts of zone 6 too.

All,

Rut would be my uneducated guess, a lot of places outside of BC prohibit hunting during the rut unfortunately.
Political I'm pretty sure. I know that for years there have been certain people complaining about licenced hunters in the Moose Lake area competing with them. Similar to the south end of Teslin Lk - has a rutting closure because the FN like to have a big moose camp down there and don't want us in there competing with them. Not sure about the Smith River area.
I have fished Bull trout many times where the lake runs out and is fantastic! And more often than not, I have watched moose swim/walk across. I know there are some FN cabins on there, so would not be a surprise for this to be part of the reason.
This^^^. Lots of areas in the Peace region are closed to rifle during the moose rut but are open to archery...Quote:

Can only imagine how packed it will be up there in September now
Yeah, the thought of driving 18 hours to be in a crowded hunting area just doesn't resonate with me. Pass.Quote:
