My girlfriend, a couple buddies, and I got 2 moose in the group draw for the South Chilcotin (3-32) in October. I have been through the area many times throughout my life but only recently for hunting. I am heading up this weekend for a camping trip and I plan on doing a bit of scouting. I was hiking in the park last year and did see a ton of moose sign and some sheds within feasible packing distance from the Relay Creek road. In all my trips though the park, I can't remember seeing a moose, although I have seen goats, monster mulies, and many grizz (been chased abv tree line).
My questions on the area are:
Approx what elevation will the moose be at during October?
What are numbers like?
What is the timing of the rut like? I know it is generally around Sept 20th (not last year) in the Omineca where I have done most of my moose hunting.
Will hot weather still push them up to the alpine this time of year?
Approx when will their velvet be off?
Anyone with any experience hunting Slim Creek or towards the Bridge Glacier?
Anyone else on HBC get the draw? If so, maybe we can talk via PM closer to the date and have a multi camp beer night.
Cheers
