I found a rut pit, and was subsequently charged by a rather large bull while standing there a few years ago. I did not have my phone/onx when that happened but know, and can pin on a map, within 100yards of that spot, if you want it to go check out when scouting. Also, I’ll be up in the area a lot this fall at our property, though will be spending October chasing moose in 49 degrees, but if we are tagged out and or after that season ends, I’d be happy to drive and search for a November bull if your tag goes that long.
How long do bulls use rut pits? I found one in 2019
Also, don’t expect to see a lot of moose scouting, I’d get some cameras up, I was able to locate a bull that way. Knew he was in the area and saw him w my own eyes, wasn’t a shooter back then. I scouted (from the westside) every other weekend, saw maybe 2 bulls and a couple cows before the hunt started. Put over 100 miles a day on my truck during the season, 5 days before to day 10 when I killed my bull. Enjoy every moment!!!

I'm assuming there isn't any cell phone reception over there. I'm going over next weekend and will stock up on some regular cameras. It's good to know that if I see something during scouting it's a bonus. My main mission this trip is learning the road system, looking for sign and getting some cameras out.
An update on my Selkirk moose hunt.We've seen moose almost everyday. I was less than a minute from tagging out on a nice bull my son spotted opening morning. Saturday we spotted a bull in a beaver pond about a mile away. I took off after him and before I got there my son inlaw radioed telling me he had just got smoked. As soon as the shot was fired a pack of wolves started howling for about 45min straight. It was an eye opener as far as the amount of wolf activity in that area. I see fresh elk tracks every day and almost always see fresh wolf tracks on the elk tracks. The elk are always on the run. They are in groups of 3 at most and usually 1's and 2's. We are having a blast though. Can't wait to tag out eventually.
