its been cool over here and i would be hunting this week before the rifle deer hunters start showing up less traffic = seeing more animals... And shoot one in the road they are not fun in a canyon...

I am not sure what the rifle season is like at the Mica gate but Mike who works there said that right now (when I was there) was Elk Muzzleloader season and normally I would not be able to get close to the gate because there would be 20 rigs parked there. I was the only one there. He said since the non- motorized closure there will probably be little pressure. But I am expecting there to be other hunters up in there. No quads buzzing around should keep the moose in there normal patterns by the roads hopefully.

But thanks for the warning.

I guess I am gonna find out! :chuckle:

You should not need to crawl to the top of the peak.  Quite a few moose around, check with local landowners with habitat.  If you are taking a cow permission should not be difficult.  Those old gals are tough on family dogs and scare the hell out of kids at the bus stop.  Kind of nice to take one close to the front loader.

Well This moose hunting thing is all new to me and so is the area. If you have anyone or any area of landowners in mind I can check with PM me. I am all ears!

Thanks,

even with the quads buzzing around the moose are close to the road, the quads didn't bother them on my hunt, lots of moose low, you shouldn't have to go too far in from the gate to find a nice cow.

I Can't wait!!!! 1 week from now we will be chasing moose for our first time ever!!!!

Does anyone know what the deer and bear hunting is like on Mica?  I am lucky enough to be going along on this moose hunt and have a muti season deer tag and a bear tag, so just wondering what my chances are I will see something to hang a tag on ??  :dunno:

Thanks for your input!

Well We are heading out for 9 days to see if we can arrow a Cow Moose on Mica. I havent been able to sleep all week! The weather should be in the mid 50's and low 30's at night so we should be good on the weather front. Now if the moose will cooperate that would be awesome!!!! :chuckle:

We are going to try to take video and definatley pics. So see ya when I return! :IBCOOL:

had that tag last year....  You will have fun!!!!  It took me about 5 min of hunting...  The best advice I can give you is use an ATV..  Packing a moose out of that country on foot is a chore.. There are and will be plenty of moose for you to look through.. I wish I spent more time hunting.. Good thing I got it when I did. On the way home my alternator went out on my truck. I was close enough to the house to have family come and rescue me, my trailer, ATV's and a moose in the back of the truck!!!

So if you happen to find a trail of camera cards, let me know.  I lost about 8 of them out of my bag while I was there. :bash:
