Season Opener Plans

[604ksmith]

With the Aug 1st and 15th seasons opening up North just around the corner, I was wondering what everyones plans are.

Obviously no honey-holes, I'm just curious as to what everyone has planned, I can't wait to get out there!

Aug 1st I plan to go up to either 7-19 or 7-50 (depending on weather) with 2 other guys to scout and/or take a wolf or ThinHorn if I ever get another shot at one.

Aug 15th I'll be in 7-19 to 7-21 looking for Elk and Moose, maybe Region 7A looking for a goat, likely going solo (applicants wanted...!)

Yeah, hard to believe the start of the season is just around the corner again.

A group of us is planning to head into Redfern Lake for a bit of an ATV/motorcycle adventure on the 20th. Not a dedicated hunt but we'll be packing tags and rifles. If we see promising sign we will stick around after the big group departs and see what we can do to put something in the freezer.

I would like to see the hide of a wolf in August. Shoot away though. There are plenty up there.

I have a few hunts planned myself. Not sure exact dates yet. But its gonna be a good season.

What do you think will be so bad with August wolf hides? I'm new to the North and have next to no experience with wolves, other than a few medium distance encounters for the odd second here or there last season in the PG & Chetwynd area.

How about some horse shoes!?

Fly out of muncho in 2 days for stones with my dad, sept 1'st archery moose (already got him tied up), and accompanying a couple friends on mountain goats in October, plus I gotta fit in a goat hunt for myself sometime in between lol.

[warnniklz]

I'll be scouting a new area for goats come the long weekend... also heard there's elk in the area. So I guess I'll keep and eye out for those buggers too.

Depending what I find that weekend will determine the rest of my season

[ducktoller]

Scouting maps and then boots to the ground to scput goats August 22/23.

Gonna hunt 316 for goats labour day weekend and a week mid september then only one day off a week the rest of season. Budget hunt with a crappy sleeping bag survival blanket in case needed for extra warmth and no spotting scope so I'll have to get real close lol.

Haven't even thought of other animals. Though I'll be looking for berry bear sign and the hybrid deer that live there

[300H&H]

I gunna hunt for hasenpfeffer.

Hunt da wabbit...hunt da wabbit....hehehehe

Shhhh...be vewy vewy quiet when hunting wabbit

[Fisher-Dude]

I was trying to think back on opening day hunts I've had.

I think I've only killed one animal on opening day (Sep 10), a bull elk that I had to shoot because it was gonna run over me on the skinny little trail I was standing on.

What made that one extra sweet was that the guide-outfitter (who horned in on us when we had that bull bugling a bit) over-called that bull, and it came bailing right into me on its way outta there. :grin:

Did the opening day Stones' thing last year, too hot and way too many bugs. Thin hair on them rams too. Goin first week sept instead, always been a good time for us. Bringing a buddy of ours for his first sheep hunt, hope we can find him one!

[Fella]

Ha, it's still prime salmon season! No hunting for me until sept!

[two-feet]

Aug 15th bears open again so I will try to fill my second tag with a blueberry lardo. Then the lond wait to end of sept for the fly-in moose hunt

[Brian011]

Heading on my first sheep hunt, flying in on the 30th to look for a stone!

[HarryToolips]

Rabbit Aug 1 then Sept 15- 18 for 6 point elk....

[604ksmith]

I won't even say I'm jealous, cause I'm really not. Not at all.

[604ksmith]

I know Stones are popular, but I'm surprised how many people have opening day trips lined up.

I guess I gotta step my game up!

Yup, you're right. I would only be "looking" for an elk, but actually hunting for a moose in the lower 7B areas.

[Shikari300WSM]

Heading to the koots on Sept. 1st. However, salmon fishing will keep me occupied until then. Good luck everyone!

This past weekend l was offered the opportunity to bow hunt a private piece of property high up on the back side of Saddle Mt. in Lumby. Come the opener, that is where l will be.

[Foxtail]

I am torn... Am invited up to a buds place in 3 for the early archery season but my LEH moose is a couple days later. I have told the wife I need to leave a few days early for my LEH but I don't know if she's buying it lol.

[Katanajay]

Aug 1st opening day for Salmon on the Fraser will keep me busy until Sept. Then have four day hunt planned to hit 2-8, 2-19 for some Blacktails or at worst four days bush camping and scouting some more.

[Rhyno]

Sept 1 will find me in a tree stand looking for an elk!

Elk don't live in tree's, they're not birds you know...!

[Edge]

Up to the Elkwoods for Sept 1 bow season...good luck all !!

[Doublelung]

Sept 16 will find me headed north to chase elk and moose up in 7b. My hunting party is three women, two seniors and 2 kids so it will be an adventure as always.
