I have a week off but no plans on where to go

[russm]

I have the week after thanksgiving booked off but with my dads poor health and u reliable buddies I haven’t had the chance to plan anything this year. I typically head to somewhere in region 3 but wouldn’t mind going somewhere else this year, I’ve got a mule, whitetail and black bear tag, where would one recommend heading? I usually hunt around cache creek/Clinton, maybe someone is in the same situation and would want to plan something together? I kind of wouldn’t mind getting out to Turkey country.

Grab a elk tag, and head over to Cranbrook.

Fill up and go to the kootneys. It's the one part of Bc I've yet to explore. Solo is nice: all on your schedule and speed, the only downside is you are your only help so be mindful.


I wouldn't see this as a negative at all, there are lots of up sides. Good luck

I thought about that actually, only deterrent right now is price of fuel for a one person trip, not as bad if you can split it with someone else.

I have there same week off with no concrete plans yet either. Probably can't leave until Tuesday or Wednesday. Probably end up around Rock Creek.

I spent a couple days poking around there a few years ago but found it really thick in the spots I was in...

As I just replied to another post , look into an area with the "any Mulie any WT buck season. Make your odds as good as you can.

Come to the island and take two bears home with you.

Never hunted over there, care to show me around? Lol

I would if I wasn't working so much until Nov. Earning $ to pay for 2 trips.

The bear hunting is pretty easy here- even in the fall. Anywhere without gates is good for bears- Nitinat, Bamfield, Sayward, North Island. Deer are elusive, but even a road hunter like me got a spike so far.

No worries, I think I’m starting to lean towards a kootenay hunt, not sure about east or west, I got my first deer in grand forks but that was a total fluke and I know there’s a lot of private property, never really been to the east though...

I think you've got a good idea looking for feedback. Another HBC member was looking for someone to share a trip and he and I have it booked leave in month, so this site works for that.

If someone were in my position and decided to do a last minute kootenays hunt where would you choose? East or west?

[j270wsm]

dont think you’ll go wrong picking either one

[browningboy]

Cranbrook would be cool!

Buy a Canucks ticket and go watch their home opener.

I'd go whitetailing in the east koots.
