moving to region 6

[bigmuley]

Moving up to Houston (region 6) right away, Never hunted there. and don't know the area. I know theres more moose then deer there, only took one moose in my life. but tons of muleys. Just curious if any members could help me out on a vast area for muleys or general area where I can find them. Ive heard from my dad and my grandpa theres moose around every corner up there. Any help on area or a general direction would be appreciated.

cheers

moose or deer

I came around many corners in the last couple months and didn't see one.

There are moose but definitely not around every corner. To hunt the rut you need an leh which is eight or nine to one odds for the prime season. If you get that draw, and hunt hard and smart, you have very good odds of connecting. If you don't get a draw you have to hunt the open season in October. There are years when it's productive, due to the right weather or other factors. Some years it is hard. Whatever you do, you need to work to find a good area preferably away from the disturbance of other hunters.

There are some deer around Houston but mostly centred on private land and farmers fields. There are more deer towards Vanderhoof or south of burns lake so you aren't too long of a drive to get to them. A nice general area would be to drive the morice Owen forest road and then hunt the northwest end of Francois lake.

Have fun.

You can go north, south, east or west out of Houston and find great hunting for Moose and Mulies. And that's no bull! Great hunting there.
