i went up to the area 2 weeks ago and did a scout. gavin lake has some fresh sign but minimal. there were some cut blocks but it was pretty spread out where i was and very thick in between. i saw a good blackie track and tree scratch close to the lake.
i went along the lake and river to horsefly it was beautiful country but it was really dense along the lake.
from horselfy i took 108 mile road down to spokin lake road. along 108 i saw some deer sign and a cat track but little moose. that being said i was alone and sticking very close to the main roads just looking for some general sign. i spent more time up spokin lake road and some of it's side roads. i found alot of older sign and it looked promising plus i saw a really nice mulie...
the problem i have with spokin lake road is that when i reread the regs it is a hunting vehicle restricted zone and we are using quads. it is a shame i didn't read that earlier because i spent the better part of the day in that area.
i am an ethical hunter, i never tell people about am area unless i find it myself and i leave any area i enter as clean or cleaner than when i came. i took the time to scout but i missed the vehicle restriction until i reread the regs.
any pointers you would have would be great because i am rolling in on the morning of the ninth and the only thing i really have to go on is google earth and my back road mapbooks.
