South Mt Spokane Moose Situation

[ridgerunner60]

I just jumped on to this forum becuase of new circumstances about my Mt Spokane Moose hunt, i had hunted the Thompson Cr area earlier in the season and was not succsseful, i am back to find that IEP has locked the gate and ther is only foot or Atv acssess (which i dont have).
Does anyone know of some state or DNR land i can hunt or i will have to scrub the tag?

Im sure someone on here will step up and help.  Ill take a look at the boundary description and see if i can help point you on a new direction.

looking at my maps, thers some dnr/stateland just se of the intersection of blanchard creek rd and blanchard rd. Lots of moose in that area, definetly worth checking out.

I don't know the boundaries for the tag but day-mt Spokane road will get you on IEP land. Don't remember seeing a gate in there

How about you try getting out and doing some walking.

"Scrub the tag"?? WTF

I am sure you will get an offer to get you in a good area of that unit.  Heck I am tempted to offer but I have business issues going on.  Check back often I bet someone reaches out to you.

Then post your story on here if you would.

Get an IEP permit, simple.

Your spot on about the permit however they do keep that gate locked and unattended outside of the general hunt seasons.  Good on IEP that they pay a guy to monitor the gate during general hunt seasons to let people in and out by vehicle, unlike Hancock that is not hunter freindly and tends to "lock down" much of their land.  As Hancock continues to buy weyerhauser property we continue to get shut out most of the time.

 He could walk in off Thompson but it would be a long walk.

I've got an IEP permit. so I'm thinking there is a way to get behinds those gates. I would call IEP and inquire about access.

I know the gates are open on the idaho side or at least they were last weekend.  I know you can get to Wa going in through the spirit lake access point and I think you can also trough the twin lakes access.  Possible option but I don't know what the mt Spokane unit boundaries are.

I dont have my map in front of me right now but I was told at the dnr regional office that they had sold off all of their land up there to IEP.  At least the land up at blanchard for sure.  I would look into the IEP permit more.

You can get it done but either way your pretty late to the dance.  Research needed to be done months ago.

How many days left?  Are you willing to buy the permit?
