Congratulations. I can’t say I’m not jealous!!! Red lake has a rec. site for camping. You can get all the info you need from google. You probably already know, but that area has a ban on atv use for the purpose of hunting. Good luck and have a good time. It’s a great area.

Moose populations are a fraction of what they traditionally were in that MU. It may not be as easy a hunt as one might think. Red Lk is not very high in elevation and the better moose country is the higher stuff, which is not really that close to Red. It's doable, but I wouldn't go to Red Lk expecting the immediate area busy with moose.

There are obviously some moose around but it's not a gimmie by a long shot.

Good luck.

Red Lake/Chris Creek and surrounding area, basically the whole valley beyond the provincial park, is majority private property so make sure you know what is actually crown land as that is up to your due diligence to know, it doesn't have to be posted. In the 10 years I've had property up there, I've never seen a moose, even on my trail cameras in the area, or coming and going to the property. Don't recall off the top of my head where all the LEH and MU boundaries are but you'd probably be better at the North Eastern most corner of your LEH unit, closer to the Sawmill, Bonaparte, or Porcupine areas. As mentioned above, moose populations are hurting, I see a fraction of what I did even 5 to 10 years ago.

Be prepared to do your part with the wolves!

Its a great area but has become harder and harder to hunt the past 10-15 years. If you are going to Red Lake then take some fishing gear, the fishing can be outrageous there in the late season. I use to hunt Muleys in that region but they have been decimated by FN and wolves in that area. Its going to be a tough slog finding moose but they are likely in there, be prepared to do a lot of hiking.

Go high and to the north end of the MU. They are mainly in pockets and don’t move until the snow gets deep. Wolves and others things have reduced the numbers for sure. Your draw for October or November? Good luck.

That’s what I would do as well.
I got that draw few years ago in October , pm me and I tell u where I got mine.
There’s actually pretty healthy population up there , I got 2 legal immature bulls on trail cam up there this spring on 1 camera ... good luck finding them when their open tho!

There's moose there, you just have to put the time in to find them, I would look at the NW end of your zone.

I'll be up there for the next week and then for most of OCT/NOV, send me a PM when your going up and Ill see if I have any current info for you, good luck.

I have a draw for 3-29b in November. I'm thinking of going the last half of the month. Never hunted for them in your area, what time oct or nov?
Maybe camp along the northern border, criss creek.

For a October hunt I would be higher, for November I would be lower and stick around that red lake / joe Ross/ last course area. October I would go to the high area of that MU, shoot as many wolves as you can!
