Smith River BC

[.330 Dakota]

Hey Guys, I am looking at Smith River BC (7-53) for a possible Caribou/Moose hunt.
Just wondering who has been in there as far as the old airport, and beyond, and how the hunting is, and the access, etc.

Drove up there few years back around the 3rd or 4th of September its pretty closed in, there were probably 7 or 8 groups of hunters camped at the old airport. Didn't see any game but met some nice people we spent the night and continued on out way home.

Some of that area is now closed for moose hunting during the rut (Oct 1 - 15) if that is when you are thinking of going.

I just watched a Steves Outdoor episode where they flew into a spot about 80-100km east of there, and it was all rolling tundra, big herd of boo, so I figured it might be the same there

i know that area well. lots of grouse on that road. lots of porcupines too for some reason. moose are not so common, but they get big there. There are a few stands along the road on places.
fishing is good in the lakes. the airport is pretty grown in. Definitely not open tundra and ive never seen a bou in that area.
