Title: Mount Spokane South - Youth Cow
Post by: RubblesPH on November 17, 2017, 09:54:15 AM: My son drew a Youth cow tag - we’ve got the maps, getting the Inland Empire pass, done some research by talking with previous tag holders...but with his football practice and games, work travel, family, other hunts - we unfortunately haven’t had an opportunity to hunt.

We are heading up this weekend but I hear that Cow’s are pretty scarce in the North unit. Not sure what’s going on in the South unit?

Don’t normally ask for help, but does anyone have any current intel on cow moose in Mount Spokane South...abundant, scarce? Getting down to the wire!

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hopefully they will be moving more than earlier this year. Goodluck to your boy! Hope you guys can find one!

:yeah: I second Brickel Creek, head back west into WA and wind your way as high as possible to the North and East of the Ski area. Should be some moose around up there.

Don’t overlook Thompson Creek and the IEP access off of Foothills Road.

Shoot me a PM if you are running out of options and I’ll give you one more idea.

JLS - I’ll send you a PM in a bit

Thanks again everyone for all your help. Much appreciated!
