The pin striping mainly... There were a couple spots I had to get out and check clearance etc but I managed to get up past the turn off to the lake before coming back. I had originally planned to cross the creek and walk the other side but the bridge was out and the creek was a bit too fast moving to attempt while solo. That said - it's also not that far to walk to Norton (3-4kms) and some cut blocks along the way where I always find droppings.
Hey, just wanted to chime in and say i am glad to see folks helping others on an leh hunt rather that acting all top secret!
Good on you folks!!
Hahah I’ve been putting in there every year. I tried to get in the back for spring bear. Hit a wall of snow. In the middle of may . I’m going to go camping up there. Soon. At the lake. I’ll let you know if I see any elks I met someone that got a gronk out of there 5 years ago. He said hike the rivers. Roads can be empty Spend a week if you can
Thanks for the tips. I was reading a thead on here from 2018 where the poster got a HOG and that seemed to be how he found his as well. My plan is to get up for a bunch of scouting over the next couple months and get to know the area, where I see old sign etc and then head up for a week at the beginning of the season and supplement that with weekends afterwards if needed.
Maybe we'll cross paths up there!
Sent you a pm.
I agree. My nephew has the draw too and a few of us have been chatting already about the hunt. Good to see people helping each other. We are excited and the recon will start very soon
I used to go camping at Norton in the 2000s, I recall back then the road had literally over 100 cross ditches over 7km. I counted. They sucked back then, can't imagine they've improved with age, (unlike myself).
