Hunting the Klappen Rail Grade

[palmer]

Any of you guys ever hunt the Klappen rail grade, I was up there this year and thought it was some beautiful country. I was wondering whos been up there and what you thought of it.They are doing lots of drilling there right now, so maybe this will change the game patterns...??? If you have been there, tell me what you thought.

up north lol...up towards dease lake a believe...correct me if i m wrong...

Its an old railroad bed built to ship coal out of the north. It goes from smithers to dease lake and was built in the early 80's. Due to the price of coal dropping the tracks were never put on, its kinda cool this long trail with bridges and everything....But no tracks.

yeah its well over 100 km's long and really good moose huntin area oh wait i mean no moose there at all...

some moose...but I think with the new moose no hunting areas ...moose hunting is not as good as it used to be...One thing I did see plenty of sign was for the G BEARS.......they were all over...

I have hunted a section of the part that borders Spatsizi. Beautiful area but hunted hard. We talked to a CO when we were there and they had performed a rough count of hunters........over 1000 along the road in various camps when we were there. Still saw moose though.
