    Some buddies are up that way. Lots of hunters. Saw a couple does that’s about it. Pretty sure the long weekend lower mainland crew have pushed the animals deep

    We've been up that way for the Long Weekend, lots of deer hanging around here, both mule and white tail, lots of grouse reported, a few bears down ………………
    Son almost hit a moose with his truck up in the boonies.
    Pretty busy in many areas but should really quiet down after today.

    If it's raining, hunker down someplace where the canopy will keep the rain off and let the drivers push the deer to you. Deer do not like the rain as it filters out wind carrying odors and makes them nervous. So they keep moving about with a sharp eye for predators. You have to have patience though. Having a blind would be a plus because at least you can stand up and stretch without exposing yourself. Make sure you have a piss bottle with a cap that way you wont have to leave the blind for a tinkle. Another story if you have to drop a load.

    I could sell you a toilet seat that fits a home depot bucket. https://www.ebay.com/p/691363018?iid=123897324520&rt=nc

    Lots of Grouse and Rabbits from my friends reports.
    Couldn't find the elk however, just some month old rubs and tracks, but nothing fresh.
