Roosevelt Elk BC

[carverk]

I will go on my first Roosevelt Elk hunt this year, getting excited is it fall yet Haahaa
I just figerd out wear the elk are last year but never had time to go after them so the plan is to start scouting figer out wear ther bedding and wear ther feeding ext.
I will take my T/C ProHunter 308 with 15 inch barrel for getting around the thick stuff
My plan is to do what I do best travel light and move quietly on foot packing just the basics
I have heard that bugling for Roosevelt will not work but cow call will work any one have any experience calling Roosevalt Elk

Well, if you're hunting the Gwaii for elk you're chasing Rockies, not Rosies. But good luck! I know a couple of people who pulled bulls out of the north island. They said once was enough! lol

Aren't those elk regular elk with a mix of European Red Deer?

Aren't there feral cattle hiding there too?

I'd love to take a trip there sometime.

Does it happen in less than 100 years? IIRC the only native ungulate on the QCI was the (extinct) Dawson's Caribou.

Far as the government is concerned, there is red deer and Rocky Mountain elk on the islands. Seeing the basket boat when you are done will be interesting.

I was just given a trapline at home a basket boat will be handy chasing muskrats as well as hunting
