After 11 years i drew a Any Moose tag for the Selkirks. My family has a cabin in the 49 degrees area and I have taken two Moose hunters up there and had great hunts. Now it's my turn and i just purchased a map today of the unit and cant stop thinking about bulls

If anyone has a general area to point in let me know and i will have you over for backstrap and beers and some shooting

Gonna take it with my bow and on video thanks.

Congrats, there are some good bulls in the Seikirk unit.

Congrats! If I go for moose again, it will be with a bow and camera as well! Good luck, wish I had info on that area.

The cca rd up high and upper mill creek was the best for me when I had the tag last year.

I think Petit Lake area would be worth a look. Quite a bit of sign up there during deer season last year. I hope to get up there this summer at some point. If I do i'll let you know what I see. Good luck with your hunt!

Thanks alot everyone. I will look into those area's and hope to find the bull im looking for

Do a search on Selkirk moose on this site and you can see a few hunts.

huntnnw · « **Reply #9 on:** June 21, 2011, 08:44:37 PM »

the south end of the unit is the best and holds the most moose..the area behind bead lk and marshall lake is excellent..one of the largest bulls I have ever seen was on top behind Bead lk..several roads back there and clearcuts...PM if you want more info

I also drew a moose tag for unit 117a. I am going to use my 7mm mag, does anyone have any thoughts on bullets ?

sebek556 · « **Reply #11 on:** June 21, 2011, 08:52:47 PM »

175 grain or higher should put it down nicely..

huntnut · « **Reply #12 on:** June 21, 2011, 08:59:58 PM »

Thats what i was thinking,heavy weights are hard to find. Really looking forward to the hunt and just want to be prepared.

sebek556 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 21, 2011, 09:08:36 PM »

i prefer a ballistic tip and load my own, but you can find high quality bullets over the counter just make sure you check your zero, changing rounds can change the point of impact greatly at distances.

Hey newbies: THIS is how you ask for help:
1. He's made other posts before
2. He's helped other people before
3. He's done some work himself
4. He's offered not just spoils but fellowship in consideration for help.

Good luck with the hunt! I wish I could help but I'm out of the loop on this one.

Hornseeker · « **Reply #15 on:** June 24, 2011, 05:43:55 AM »

You are gonna have a great hunt... If I had that tag I would hunt South Baldy, Kings Lake, and over the top down to the ID border... There's an old fire trail on the east side of S. Baldy that is a good place to look!! Then, down towards the bottom of the east side of S. Baldy is Prime....

Good Luck! ( I hope I have my unit right...)

PS..I am hunting moose this year too, but in Montana!!!

MLBowhunting · « **Reply #16 on:** June 24, 2011, 01:26:28 PM »

Thanks alot i will check that area out. Congrats on the Montana Moose and cant wait to see your pics

SOuth end for sure, I have property at the pend oreille lakes 8 miles west of Ione. Moose hunted 49 with my dad and have shed hunted/ deer hunted that area all over. Biggest bulls around bead lk by far

According to the game regs, I see your tag is good for both 113 Selkirk and 117 49 North areas. We hunt Whitetails around Usk in 113, and there used to be a lot of pictures of Moose posted in the Usk Cafe, taken in and around the lakes west of Usk in 117. There might be some good areas in 113, especially up in the area of the CCA roads, but I really don't know. I'd be scouting both areas, especially 117. Good luck. Hope you score a good'un! Sadly, last year the Usk Cafe was closed down.

Did you draw the 113 unit ? All of the advice on here so far is NOT for the 113 unit. And most of the advice is coming from guys that live on the westside.

I beg to differ! The King's Lake area is in 113, as is the CCA Road area off the LeClerk highway. And, last I looked on a map, Wenatchee was East of the Cascades.

Also Baldy is right smack in the middle of 113.

Ok, so everybody has to knit pick everything. I don't give a rip. 2,3,4 out of how many ? So what ! There are too many guys on here that have to argue about such minor things. I don't say something to start a friggin' pissing match. Grow up.

huntnnw · « **Reply #25 on:** July 07, 2011, 05:23:37 AM »

I havent looked..but the 49 tag is for the 49 unit and the selkirk is in 113?? why are people giving advice on hunting the 49 unit unless those are the boundarys

Skyvalhunter · « **Reply #26 on:** July 07, 2011, 06:07:03 AM »

Because they are a bunch of real nice guys!!

bearpaw · « **Reply #27 on:** July 07, 2011, 07:09:01 AM »

113 and 117 are separate moose units. If you have a tag for 113, you must hunt east of the Pend Orielle River. There are moose throughout the unit, but I like the south end the best too.

Good Luck....

My point exactly.

GoldTip · « **Reply #29 on:** July 07, 2011, 08:33:56 AM »

There are Moose throughout the entire Selkirk unit. when I had the tag in 2009 I scouted essentially the entire unit, top to bottom. I found most of my sign, and then concentrated my hunting in the middle third of the unit. CeCeAy road and north would be my suggestion. I got a good bull that I and most anyone I know would be very pleased with.

Heredoggydoggy · « **Reply #30 on:** July 07, 2011, 09:00:02 AM »

I should have checked further into the regs. I thought the tag was good for all the special hunts for Moose. I never apply for special hunts, so I'm not up on the particulars, but I do know that 113 and 117 are two different units, and the Pend Orielle River is the boundary between them. Not trying to start a flame war, but in my old age, my tolerance for know-it-alls is getting thinner all the time.

bearpaw · « **Reply #31 on:** July 07, 2011, 09:48:45 AM »

No worries Heredoggydoggy, I just didn't want someone to get the wrong idea of where they could hunt and thought I would try to help.

Heredoggydoggy · « **Reply #32 on:** July 07, 2011, 10:14:00 AM »

No offense taken, Bearpaw. I always figure any advice you get on the 'net is worth every penny you pay for it.

There is one thing that bugs me, though: I always thought a "Personal Attack" was when someone takes after you with a 2x4 or tire iron. But on the internet, when you disagree with someone, suddenly it's a "Personal Attack"? On this score, I call bull-

! I'm just too old for this modern PC "stuff".

bearpaw · « **Reply #33 on:** July 07, 2011, 10:30:34 AM »

What really matters is that MLBowhunting is getting some good advice for his hunt. All the areas mentioned in 113 are good hunting areas that should help him.

Heredoggydoggy · « **Reply #34 on:** July 07, 2011, 10:39:46 AM »

Yep. I love that area....Ticks and all!

Note to MLB: TAKE BUG REPELLENT!

Well I guess from where Campmeat is from anything could be considered Western Washington if he heads west!!! Unless he heads my way and then that is eastern Washington.

I dont know why someone would say 49degrees

however (heres the knit picking) Mill creek rd is in 113 just north of river bend.
