I actually was amazed when I saw that I drew the Antlerless Moose tag for Hangman B this year. Never hunted Moose but have taken several elk with my bow. Gonna try it with my bow and take the rifle just in case. Dont know anything yet about GMU 127 or 130 but guessing I will be up around Mica Peak if I can figure out this Inland Paper company stuff. I hear access is very limited now and you had better have bikes or horses or something cause its a ways back in there. Just what I have heard. I welcome any info from anyone that has hunted this in the past.

Kind Regards,

Brian

Well that does not sound very encouraging. I finally draw a lifetime tag basically and find that most of the access is closed. Hmmm there has to be another way. :dunno:

I just went to the IEP website and it says nothing about closing the access.  With all of the posts about it, it must be true, but i'm surprised there website does not address it    :dunno: :dunno:   

There must be some other options for hunting with that Hangman B tag  ??????

I hunted it in 2006 with my dad. I would try to scout out some spots other than Mica Peak. There is some Inland Empire Paper company land west of Mica Peak that may require permission to cross private property to access. If it were me I'd check into that. We never did figure out how to get into it but we didn't need to, because we took ATV's right around the gate and up the road to Mica Peak. Another option might be to try coming in from the Idaho side.

Any one with spokane needs to get the IEP pass. It's a must have. Lots of great area. If anyone with a youth tag needs help, send me a pm in a month or so. I have a ton of stuff going on right now but am always happy to help. I hunted with a youth hunter a few years back and have some maps and info for the kids that might need help.

That doesnt sound as bad as what I was hearing. I think we were planning mountain bikes with trailers......?????? I will have to investigate further. I appreciate any and all info very much. I am sure that I will never get this tag again.

Did you read the part about the change for the Mica Peak area? That's where most people with the Hangman moose permit hunt.
