October Hunting Trips

[700bdl]

The thread for the september hunts was, in my opinion, a successful thread. It hasn't had any posts for a couple weeks so I'll assume it's run its course. So lets hear about your plans for october hunting trips.

Who would like to share what their hunting trips planned for October are?

Don't get your panties in a bunch, I'm not looking for the GPS coordinates to your honey spot. Just share the region or MU and what species your after. Is it a trophy hunt? Is it a meat hunt? Is it the first time your going after a particular species? Just share a story.

But only for october. If this thread goes well I'll start another one for november, at a later date.

[700bdl]

I'll go first.

First I will be heading to the peace river region for moose, and then toward the end of the month, region 3 for mulies.

[3kills]

i got a week off booked the first bit of oct goin to hit up region 8 for any buck and maybe the first day or two of the whitey doe season some where

[The Hermit]

Moose first week of Oct, unless a contract comes along... BT deer every other weekend on the island.

[MichaelB]

Region 8 for some muleys and whiteys. Throw in a spike fork if I'd be so lucky.....

[BCBRAD]

Any one thinking of hunting 7-11 might as well forget about it. the wolves have eaten all the moose and all the deer and the odd b-bear. So if you head to that region bring lots of ammo for the wolves because you won't be shooting at anything else.

[Angel]

Early Oct region 3 for mulies and take a look for the elusive spike fork Moose, then onto Region 8 mulies and white tail for the end of the month. Hopefully all goes well.

[Chuck]

I've always liked October for hunting in regon 4, as the heat is usually to a tolerable level now and it is far more comfortable getting out and about. Leaves for the most part have dropped, and visibility is increased. Treed birds are easier to spot if I've a mind for them. Perhaps morning frosts a minor problem, but still hunting those sneaky Whitetail is more like a stroll in the park than pushing through tight leafy brush or wading through knee deep snow. Mulies are watching - always watching.

[Crawfy42]

First few days in october region 3 mulies, october long region 5 mulies, week long trip in region 7 for moose and the end of October cougars... In Vegas!

[MichelD]

I'd really like to get a whitetail in the doe season and a buck too while I'm at it. Been hunting since 1968 and I've never got a whitetail deer. I've never seen a whitetail buck.

Always ready for a mulie and a spike-fork moose too.

Region 8 or 3, wherever I can find them.

Waterfowling too if I can't get out of town for a deer hunt. I can do that in a morning and be back home to do some work in the afternoon.

[JDR]

Region 8 - LEH bull moose October 1st and mulies end of October.
Region 4 - Goat latter half of October maybe into November.

[mrc]

For our crew this year its LEH bull elk in Gold River.......Cant wait should be a blast

[835]

reigon 4

[daywalker]

Well heading to region 7 for my first moose hunt in october. Maybe be lucky and get a elk and whitetail. Just looking to fill the freezer this year with something to supplement deer.

[pete_k]

Region 8 for some muleys and whiteys. Throw in a spike fork if I'd be so lucky.....

x2. I'm buying an Elk tag too for the hell of it. Never know in the area I'm going this year.

You gonna take a WT Doe if nothing happens by Oct 31?

[Ozone]

Will be heading to region 8 with 2 W/T tags.

[JoshCampbell]

Will be going to spend a week in the kalum lake area chasing griz on the east side and goats on the westdise also looking for any black bears, moose, deer that might cross our path during that time. should be a fun trip with my dad and younger brother. we have 3 grizzly draws, and 3 goat draws also.

[frenchbar]

Most of oct off....so lots of days out muley hunting :-D

[nano]

Region 8 thanksgiving weekend deer hunt, then waterfowl every weekend.

[spear]

Region 8 Mule deer 20th-29th, dreaming of an alpine buck already. If im lucky enough to fill the tag within the first 4 days, on to whitetails
Halloween weekend on the island chasing blacktails.

[pg83]

Muley/WT region 8 if I find the time. Unfortunately October will be a busy month for me.

[BCRiverBoater]

Late season elk around Region 7 for sure.

[Buck]

Will be headed to Montana for a week of pheasant hunting.Local for ducks and region 3 for Grouse and deer.

[waistdeep]

6 for moose and 8 for mulies :)

[coglark]

Reg 8 with 2 w/t tags and 1 m/d tag. first time on this property, third week of Oct..counting the days

[buck nash]

Quadra island for a bt doe on the thanksgiving weekend, northeast of pemberton for a mulie and a b bear, and all the waterfowling I can squeeze in around the lowermainland.
Then a quest for a trophy buck in reg 3 sometime in november.
Of course I'll always be one the lookout for grouse pheasant and bunnies etc and I'll be packin a moose tag just in case frotune smiles on me. I'd hate to think how disappointed I'd be if that elusive spike/fork came around the corner and I wasn't carrying a tag.

[duckhunt]

im leaving for little over a week up to region 7B for moose/elk/mule deer/whitetail deer ... pretty much anything that is legal and present a good shot. its a meat hunt for me.

[22savage]

Region 6 for a couple of bull moose during the peak of the rut.

[TheProvider]

Region 2 for BTails and grouse, with the odd weekend in 3 for deer and grouse.

[notyalc]

[sawmill]

Same shit,different season for me,hunt the local area for Whitie`s and elk.I sure hate that 15 minute drive.

[VanIslandGuy]

Was thinking about going to Christian Vally for the long weekend but i heard that it is pay parking only there. Haha, that weekend will be nuts and crawling with CO's. Probably still go to the Rock Creek area for the long weekend and then island hunt for BT the rest of the season... Counts down is on!

[fuzzybiscuit]

Greenwood at the end of October for a Muley.

[coldbuc69]

Very happy that region 8 has changed a littal since 5 years ago when I started hunting with my grandfather up in region 8, I am 19 now and still trying for a 4 point white tale or muley got a 3 point white tale 2 years ago.

[BigBanger]

[Sangstercraft]

I have a leh bull moose draw for 5-5. Going up first week of October. Never been to that area, never got a moose, so it should be fun either way.

[.330 Dakota]

Mooooosin, 5-15 A,

[dawn2dusk]

Region 1-1 looking for a moose :wink:

[Gunner]

Miles City Montana on the 13th of October for a week of antelope hunting!I might leave early and hunt specks in Saskatchewan for a few days,and then home for Region 8 deer. Gunner

[brad7]

Heading to Rock creek the first week of oct. Looking for a buck, might even try for a turkey.

[wapitiwhacker]

7-28 Phillip Lakes Bull Moose LEH, same draw 2 years ago and got a bull then.

[1 shot 1 kill]

taking my dad to look for elk and moose in chetwynd this yr...then back home to region 3-26 to find myself another trophy muley!! should be a good time we havent been north in 20 yrs now..cannot wait..just have to get my sept goat draw fillied first!! woohoo sept is here..

[Junorr500]

7-4 for cow calf draw in oct. Might need a partner to go with. Preferably someone who knows the area.

[stroh72]

10 days of moosin and mulies in the cariboo, a 4 day solo alpine hunt for mulies then 10 days in Alberta chaing pheasants with my Brittany, back in time for the most wonderful time of the year............ November!

[TyTy]

Moose Oct. 15, 4-25, LEH

Mule + whitetails same time. I belive this is any buck for both during october. Will travel back and forth from 4-25/MU 4-24 ( I think the deer/elk hunting is better in 4-24) for these guys, and maybe have an elk tag for the last 5 days of the 6+ point season; would hate myself for not having a tag and seeing a leagal bull. Having the LEH moose + the month of october really puts just about everything on the menu.

[Squamch]

7-28 for grizz, immy moose, WT and muleys... And what the hell, I'll bring a black bear tag too!

[792]

Moose LEH in 5-1 for me, Oct 1-15. Will be going up on the 27th and staying till we fill our two moose tags, or the 15th hits.

[burger]

Leaving on the 29th till the 11th to go to7-16 for a buddies bull draw. Should be good and hopefully can get myself a nice immy or calf.

[325]

There must be a few guys heading to the WK for elk in October...?? I've been informed that hotel vacancies in the area are almost non-existant from Oct 1-20 in the WK.

I'm going after goat and mulies in October...hopefully my elk hunting will aready be done...:-D

[swampthing]

I am hoping to get the goat in the freezer before oct as the nights start to get a bit cold on the mountain. Mule deer get the focus for the rest of the season.

[vislander]

2 weeks oct.15th for 2 bull moose 5-13A

[700bdl]

It's cool to see the different trips hunters have planned.

[Gun Dog]

Some friends bought a cabin on Sheridan Lake (5-1) so we'll be hunting up there for the first time for the latter half of October. Just down the road in region 3 there's a spike-fork opening so we'll see what we see.

[Goliath]

I want to get away from the crowds and have heard these areas have no pressure so that's where I'm going:

Stones ...tagged out
Pink Mtn for Moose in Sept
Empire Valley for Mulies in Oct
Rock Creek for Whities in Nov
Prince Rupert for Wolves in Dec

:mrgreen:

[B.S.A.30/06]
