Head back to Bralorne from Gold bridge and hunt some nice deer on the upper road above Bralorne.

I have taken a few nice ones in this area years back.

There is a beautifully camp site that is a forestry site that is called Kingdom lake stay there and camp there are fish in the lake also.
You head up the road from the lake and campsite ,it is good anywhere headed up this road back in a few kl from the lake.

You turn left on a spur road about 5kl before you get into Bralorne coming from Gold bridge

Lots of bear sign all around there generally.

I've seen a couple of nice of deer and plenty of bear sign on the Hope Creek fsr. Lots of bear sign on the Noel creek fsr (starts behind the ball diamond in Bralorne)

Just got back from a couple of days hunt around gold bridge and bralorne with one bear down. I'm going back on friday and will hunt sat and sun. While I was up there I only saw one small buck 2pt and some does. Just for the record I drove more than 400 Km's on ALOT of FSR's and haven't seen many deer. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if the deer are up higher.. I would love to report on monday with the bear Aaaand a deer. If anyone has any more help it would be appreciated if not, wish me luck.

Thank you!

Derp...less driving and more lookin.

honest I do not drive 400km in a season.

where you saw the deer is where you could start to hunt...look for sign...nipped of browse..tracks in mud..ect and then spend some quiet time where the sign tells you deer are around.

glass a logging block for at least an hour before moving on.

If you are hunting with a partner split up and walk the edges of the cuts slowly.

Turn the truck off and pull out the BINNOCULARS.
Binnoculars are as important as you're gun;nothing to shoot at if you can't see it.

Quit driving and start LOOKING/EXPLORING (on foot!):smile:

Derp I would say you have to get out of the truck and pound some ground.

Find out where you see lots of tracks ,or a real nice older slash and then work that area ,keep moving into different areas covering the areas ,you will be surprised what you will see.
Good luck on your next outing.

Doing that for bear can be really productive. It took me a couple years to realize you're not going to shoot many deer that way though.
