E-Scouting a Moose Hunt in BC 2024 

As an ex-silviculturist in BC I'd say those lines you're talking about are the skid trails that a skidder would pull timber out on. They would have likely been planted as well but debris and machinery soil compression likely hinders seedling growth.

great content, I'm a newbie hunter in the making and this year will be my first time getting out. Any chance your taking applications for apprentices 😂

Seismic cut lines? We often called the Cat trails....not always a straight line...but shot a lot of moose on these little roads/trails

Great video series Spencer! Ill definitely be reviewing these before I head out this year. One thing to consider would be cross referencing the maps, with additional base maps or map apps, especially when it comes to new growth and burns. Like you've stated, boots on the ground is the ultimate factor.👍

The cut lines look to me like a partial cut was done to remove volume without creating a full clear cut. The area might have restrictions for species such as Cariboo

Funny I found the exact spot because I thought it looked familiar hahaha

Thanks Spencer. When you're e-scouting, what clues you in to what might be a marsh? I can't tell by looking at the map.

I came across these cut lines from my hunt last season and they use them like highways to the next slash or marshes I think. found plenty of deer and moose sign in them
