    Looking for hunting area near Rail Lake

    Hey everyone,

    I am taking up an offer from a friend of mine to use his cabin at Rail Lake during hunting season. I have never hunted the area before and am looking for any suggestions. I am by no means asking for your secret hunting spots; just general areas to hunt.

    Generally, I suspect the entire area has potential. Make a couple of summer trips up and figure out a game plan. Time spent field, doing recon.

    That's way better than asking for info on here.

    I always google spots, personally its just more out of curiosity than anything. I just find it truly amazing the country we have in BC. But I do get what you are getting at.
    You can take the man out of the wilderness but you cant take the wilderness out of the man.

    Go do your own recon of the area yourself .

    The truth that I’ve learned is that you gotta go make it happen yourself. All the tips in the world won’t put game on the ground. Animals are in one part of a valley one day and next week somewhere else completely.

    I’ve had the most success that way. Tips don’t help. Recon helps a lot.

    Just because someone is asking, does not mean that person is unwilling to physically explore that place if time/money permits.
    It's the sugar, stupid!

    What species are you after? I'd say that you're good for deer and moose [ if drawn ]
