Carpenter Lake in Early Sept.

[Seth]

Does anyone hunt the area in the early season. I'm going to head over there and give it a go but if anyone has any info that would be great. Was thinking of hiking into some of the high elevation alpine meadows, possibly around the taylor creek area. Is it worth my while?

[Jelvis]

If you climb way up in elevation you should do good for mule deer, thats where they are up top now, if your in good shape, and have water to drink. You will be sweating profusely. Take bandages for blisters too, where boots that are broke in good. Some guys use horses up there so you could hike the trails. I hunted down just above the lake years ago and saw nice buck

I spent the summer up the cadwalleder with dana, and we did see some nice bucks, along with goats. not to much info but glass the alpine in the early season they will still be up high.

Deer don't come down to Carpeneter until the weather gets nasty...Lots of deer up high early on. And many good trails that you can hike/ride horses along and spot from.

A couple of years ago I was up there and we got into an early season blizzard in th ehigh areas. A few does trailing fawns almost knocked us over!! Shot a nice buck the next day.

One week later, when we returned- Not a deer in sight, and little sign, as it appeared they migrated like hell.

Bottom line? Great earl seasin alpine hunting. Gorgeous country, and made for horses. I just wish I had some..........

Hey Stevo,how did ya like Bralorne. spend any time in the claim jumper bar listining to the oldtimers gold stories.definatly some nice country back of cadwalder crk.

[MattB]

It was decent but not ot many old timers around btu they sure have some cool pics in the gold bridge pub too. some nice rams and alpine muleys.

I think the ministry still has nto sold a stick of timber out of tha cadwalder country i guess it is like a black hole for logging
