Hows the hunting traffic in 7-45 7-44 area?

I just walked into a cut block today. Big moose bull stood up but it was too dark to see his palms. Then every time it turned to look at me, a leaf or bush would cover his brow tines. Then the wind turned and blew our scent straight to him. He b lined it into the trees. All within 60 yards.

Sounds like a morning traffic report, good details thanx

There are more guys up here this year than I have seen in any two years together. Talked to a guy today, who's wife incidentally had the Kamloops lake draw and killed a reasonable ram down low, who has been here for a week and has been coming here for 20 years and hunting the same place and his take on it was "traffic like never before".
I have talked to guys from Comox, Burns Lake, Maple Ridge, Smithers, and Kamloops out here. Lots of guys are saying the same thing, lots of holiday time available since they didn't go anywhere during the summer with the wife and kids so here they are hunting.

On the other hand, moose are going hard on the seek phase right now. Had a big tripalm standing in my driveway day before yesterday, and then saw a big 7x8 and a 2x3 at noon that day grunting at a cow but she wasn't interested yet.
Without checking my notes, I think that I'm up to 6 legal bulls in the last two weeks now though. Saw one 2x2 3 days in a row in the same spot, and tried to get the guys from Maple Ridge on him but evidently they didn't connect as he was there this morning.

Interestingly enough, looking like the wolf cull is having a pretty positive result up here. I have seen more moose this year than the last 3 years combined.
