Chetwynd Elk

[cmc destroyer]

Hi Guys, If you had to choose one week this fall to hunt Elk and Moose around Chetwynd which would be the best as far as the rut is concerned? Regions 7-21 7-22 and 7-31 7-32..

as they are going at it now(rut/calling/gathering harems) and the weather is ok, although a bit warm, they still find cool drainage's to do "their thing",,,
as for the "ideal week" ? looking my canceled elk tags over the last 24 years show the 7-20a area is most productive between Sept 10 to about to Oct 01,,, but that can ALL be useless information if the weather turns wet, raining and foggy and the elk shut down vocalizing completely for several weeks at times like this,,, I have seen it happen,,,

The elk here (chetwynd) usually get going early sept and are going hard by the second or third week, (having said that i have called in and shot bulls as late as oct 30th)

I second that!. 7-20A is your best bet, But make sure you get the land owners permission.

I am planning on hunting for elk this fall(2024) around Chetwynd, any local guides that do not charge an arm and leg?

We would be interested in someone who knows the area showing us around. My brother and I are late starters (brand new) to hunting and are looking for some guidance. Happy to pay but cannot afford the guided outfitter hunts.
