Selway Wilderness

[BuckRut]

Obviously since this is a hunting forum my motivations are pretty obvious but feel free to drop a post or dm about anything to do with the place. Even if it's some summer pics or general terrain/ecosystem info. It's a lot of ground so there's no way I'm even gonna scratch the surface on foot even with a lot of effort.

Started to look into it, not sure I will get in there this year.

Cool but rugged place, always disappointed by how little game

Beautiful place. Broke my heart with a lack of moose, but the scenery was gorgeous.

All I can say is good luck! lotta hiking to find elk and deer usually. I hunt a similar area just north and a ton of country void of animals.

did you have a moose tag in there? I heard it used to be one of the best moose units in the lower 48 not all that long ago

Hunted here many times and live on the Selway.
Wolves have devastated the area. Good luck.

Northern end better or worse?

I did, and if it was a good moose unit, it is not anymore.

Seems better the further South you go. Even Elk City is pretty dry these days...
Used to be bulls running through camp, now just howls.
