Moose rut up north

[flyboy]

Just looking to hear from some guys on past experiences with the timing of the rut up around Dease Lake
Is the end of Sept beginning of Oct getting to late??

Tks

It's never "on" when I've gone. Last week of September and first two of Oct. That's when it supposed to happen, although if you are fueling up in dease and see a lot of trucks heading south with large racks then it might be too late.

Best of luck, if you hit the nail on the head it would be something else

Three of the 8 trips that I have taken last week of Sept first week of Oct out side of Dease lake have had very vocal bulls that came to calls, raking of bushes or just movement!

Last week of Sept, first week of Oct will work. There is some activity outside of those dates but if you go then you should be able to make it work. Last 2 years i have got moose on the 28th of Sept, coming in to calls.

1st week of Oct should get you in the ball park.

I have called and shot more moose last week of Sept. Bulls are out looking for love and are pretty active. First week of Oct is much the same.

Cheers

Depends how far north,further north the rut starts earlier...Prophet river /muncho lake/Smith river our moose were down and dead by sept 18th like clockwork
Further south Ft st james/PG a bit later around the 28th of Sept on average

Historically most moose in region 6 are bread right around Sept 28. I would say Oct is simply too late. Its all about the amount of light, and in Kamloops I would put the moose rut on Oct 1-7, in Burns Lake I would put the moose Rut Sept 25-Oct 3, in Dease just by geography I would say Sept 20-30. I have guide friends that think hunting the BC Yukon boarder, you should be there Sept 13-20 or there abouts. October might be more of a second rut...just my 2 cents.

Hmm another vote for Oct 1..15th..
Most northern moose..Yukon border..Sept 28..ish
Yet still remember a Oct 15th bull
2 years ago Oct 1..Williams lake
Last year Atlin..Oct 4, Oct 7..all vocalization
All responded to cow call, no long shots
