Harrison Lake area

[hunter11]

Just wondering if anybody has any helpful tips on the hunting in that area? My pops and I had ventured up a pretty brutal FSR on the west side and out pemberton. Saw a black bear and couple grouse. Just wondering how the deer hunting is there or at lower elevations during this time of the year? Thanks for all the help.

This time of year you could very likely find a buck standing on the road. But if you can get off the road a ways you'd stand a better chance. They are there, but they're very cagey!!

How far up did you see the bear? I still have one tag!!!

Thanks Steelco for the tips. I saw the black bear about 70 kms or so from the north side coming in from pemberton. Huge head like a watermelon.

you can say that again.!!!!!!!Tough terrain to hunt as well unless your half mountain goat.Apparently its a rewarding experience once you finally get one, i'll let you know about that when it happens.Right Steeleco.:smile:

Try up the Chehalis main head way out the back towards hemlock valley, i was working there for a little while, anouther one to check out is the fleetwood main, both are fsr roads, I seen alot of grouse up the fleetwood, just look for the less used roads with 6' cristmas trees.

The Chealis main is blocked at the river, you can only get in from the Mystery creek area. Even the Norish creek access is said to be gated. The only way in is Harrison west.

Altitude, is the one tip a good buddy of mine always tells me. The deer on the tops are far and away bigger than the deer down low. I've seen this for myself, but like always they were does!!

Thanks guys for the help and tips. I'll try to gun one down. If it means climbn' then so it be. Me and pops are headn' up next week so hope to see something. Good luck.

Norish Creek. Is this the road that runs in by the inch creek hatchery as this is the way I used to go to the top end of Chehalis and then out through Mystery valley

[hunter11]

not sure but should probably be in the backroads map.
