Elk Hunting Fort St. John Area

[waynewjw]

Anyone hunt M.U. 7-33, 7-46? Thinking of heading up into this area for elk about mid-Sept. Anyone been there, know the terrain? Looking at google maps, east of FSJ, looks like a lot of farm land.

Any suggestions, hints, advise?

Thanks

Contact the MOE office or the Conservation office service and they will put you in touch with a farmer who wants dead elk. 3 pts start the 1st and cows sept 15. get a moose and bear tag as well.

IIRC you must have insurance like you get through being a BCWF member. Or your gun club.

They are out there for sure.

Thanks D.D.

That was worth a few phone calls. Got it all set up. However consensus of the MOE and CO's is that there isn't an over population of elk, herds appear to be the same as the past few years.

They're feeling is it will take some hard hunting to bring down an animal.

Hopefully, we'll have success. Should be a lot of fun.
