It looks like I will be moving to Invermere in time to catch some of the fall ungulate season (and a ski season ;). I will be hunting blacktail here on Vancouver Island Sept to Mid October then heading inland to what I have often heard referred to as the 'Serengeti' of BC! Only problem....I've never been there!
I'm not going to get in much scouting time before arriving so I'm hoping to get some advice on late season hunting ground prospects before rocking up. I'll be looking for deer (both species) and elk. Generally, I prefer a good backcountry hunt leaving vehicles behind at the trailhead...
Ideally, the snow will start flying just as I arrive so I can track easily while still having reasonable access to the high country.....but 'just in case' that perfect scenario doesn't play out I'd appreciate any intel you care to offer (even some don't bother with 'x' area or 'x' area is super busy...)
I have poured over the regs already (especially the vehicle restricted areas), studied up on the BC parks in the area and have started obsessively studying the zones on Google Earth...
and go!
cheers!
