    Liard and Moose lake Oct 1-15

    All,

    Anyone know the reasoning behind the Oct 1-15 no moose hunting of these areas? I see its also in parts of zone 6 too.

    Rut would be my uneducated guess, a lot of places outside of BC prohibit hunting during the rut unfortunately.

    Political I'm pretty sure. I know that for years there have been certain people complaining about licenced hunters in the Moose Lake area competing with them. Similar to the south end of Teslin Lk - has a rutting closure because the FN like to have a big moose camp down there and don't want us in there competing with them. Not sure about the Smith River area.

    I have fished Bull trout many times where the lake runs out and is fantastic! And more often than not, I have watched moose swim/walk across. I know there are some FN cabins on there, so would not be a surprise for this to be part of the reason.

    This^^^. Lots of areas in the Peace region are closed to rifle during the moose rut but are open to archery...

    There is a huge section up there that is closed from Oct 1-15. I think they just want to slow the pace of harvest.
    Is Justin Competent, or just incompetent?

    Yeah, the thought of driving 18 hours to be in a crowded hunting area just doesn't resonate with me. Pass.
