Title: Youth moose
Post by: tonymoe on September 13, 2013, 10:02:28 AM: Get things ready for my nephews moose hunt in mt. Spokane north. Was wondering where past guys have camped? I know you can't on the inland paper land, but does anyone know of any campgrounds close to elk/chattoroy? I think the state park is too far to camp as we will be focusing on the upper Blanchard area?
Thanks for any info folks!

Camp? :chuckle:

Drive over the day before the hunt, get a room at the local motel, get up in the morning and hit the peak, shoot a cow moose and head home. :chuckle:

We are going to stay in our quad trailer also so we can hunt the Inland empire land, another question, is early, I mean opening day better than waiting for deer season or does it matter.
Thank you

as high as possible. Good numbers of deer on private. You could run into one on IEP but it will be crowded.
