So my brother was one of the lucky two that drew the Gibsons/Rainy River Roosevelt bull elk!
Since he is currently working out of town and since there's a good possibility that I'll never have another opportunity to go on a Rosie hunt I am doing most of the research. Quite honestly I think I am way more stoked about setting him up for this hunt than he is.
I'm heading out this weekend to have a look at the area and hopefully locate some elk but was just wondering if anybody would be willing to help out.
I'm probably going to focus on the Rainy River valley just past Port Melon. Anybody have info on that road? Any major washouts or deactivations?
The area seems relatively small so hopefully I'll be able to check out Mt. Elphinstone above Gibsons as well.
Do you know of any good camp spots or pull outs to set up for a day or two?
How much do elk usually move through an area? Do the areas change drastically between now and mid October?
I've been out the East Kootnays quite a bit for elk but are there any major differences hunting the Roosevelt's?
If anybody had any area tips or info or even just general info about hunting Rosie's it would be much appreciated! :D
