Re: Elk hunt Dec-Feb up North
We did that hunt this year, and it was warmer in chetwynd than in Victoria, elk were up high, and my dad, who's not too mobile these days, was unable to get up to where they were. Landowner permission was difficult, and while the lease roads were wide open, all the spurs were un-plowed. I would bring chains and a winch, or a sled if possible. We stayed at a motel in chetwynd, got a 2 bed suite for the price of a one bed room, since they weren't at all busy. A lot of the advice of locals seemed to be "go down that road just outside of the draw area."
The only property we saw elk on, at the top of the hill heading out of town towards Dawson, we were told the landowner won't let anyone hunt anymore. We tried but were unable to access the crown land behind it, because dad wasn't that into driving his truck on unmaintained roads.
I think if one is willing to drive down unplowed roads, or could take a sled or even snowshoes to get a little ways off the well travelled main roads, it would be easier to find animals.
Do d you get a bull, or either sex tag?
The only thing I like as much as trucks, is guns.
