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

they shut down mica to all access from bikes on inland paper any ways some dumb a__ did damage to the towers on top so mabey horses ? not sure thats why i didnt put in for that area this year . other wise you could buy a permet from inland paper go around the gate and on up there . there is a lot of moose up there just dont know how to access anymore ... goodluck ..

Machias you should just set up your string at the gate!!!   

You could run a shuttle service

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.

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       

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.

lets see if this works

It is still a good hunt but will just take some extra effort!!

[brianb231]

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.

[brianmtsinc]

I must be looking at different info / land areas....  for those that know this area, would you mind looking a this and telling me if this is the correct area for hangman ??

It basically says that as of June 3, 2011 the gates are open for the 2011 season    

[brianmtsinc]

Ridgeratt - sorry - you beat me to it!   

So this is the Hangman area - right?

[bobcat]

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

Thanks Bobcat!  Got it.  Looks like we will be biking.  I better start getting in shape!
