Re: Still new at hunting
While a SFU student we did a lot of hunting for deer & grouse in the Birkenhead Lake, Birken, D'Arcy triangle. Also did a lot of fishing & camping in the area.
Haven't hunted in the area for about 40 years.
Most of our hunting nowadays is done just north of the area in the Empire, Gang, Farwell, Big Creek area.
Best time to hunt is early in the morning or late in the evening. Right after a fresh snowfall is great.
The real productive areas have plenty of recent signs such as tracks & tree rubs & are generally close to water.
Try to hike into the wind & on top of ridges & forget about following tracks. Be as quiet as possible!
One of our favourite areas for hunting deer in Reg.2 -see post #3
