The Rex Trail
Hello Fellow hunters,
Sept 9th, my dad, 2 friends and I will be headed up the Rex Trail. This will be our first trip on the Rex. I have researched about everything I can find, on this site and all other sites on the net, about Moose Hunting the "Rex Trail", Unit 20A, Wood river, Totatlanika, Tatlanika, Gold King Strip, etc, etc, etc. There are still lots of questions I have; I will find them out on my own this fall, but a little insight from anyone that has explored and/or hunted the Rex would be greatly appreciated. I am not looking for a "this is where you need to hunt", I am just looking for a rough idea of what lies ahead.
-- I hear it’s like a Wal-Mart grand opening. What parking is available?
-- I hear a lot of people hunt before the Totatlanika and others camp between the Totalanika and the Tatlanika. Is anybody familiar with area past the Tatlanika?
-- It sounds like a lot of people camp close to the trail? is it open enough or possible to head north of the trail a couple miles? and camp? (I know south is closed to motorized vehicles)
-- What is the vegetation like. willows, alder, tundra, swamps????
-- What is the terrain like. flat, rolling hills, etc.???
-- How deep are the Totatlanika and the Tatlanika, expecialy this year???
-- I am not overly worried about mud.... but what is the deepest of water crossings along the trail?
-**- The big question. I have read about moose on the first dozen miles of the trail but every thing I have read about farther down the trail..... It seems that everyone is tight-lipped on what the hunting is like. Anybody actually care to share a moose "hunting" story. How about Bear? Black or Brown?
If you are still reading this long-winded plea for info, I thank you. If you leave any positive information, I am greatly appreciative.
And I know somebody will ask: We are taking 2 midsize track-rigs. Ford I-6 gas engines, with mufflers. (They’re quite) 8,000 and 12,000 lbs winches and close to 600 ft of cable and 1-1/4" rope. And hopefully enough parts and tools to fix anything that could go wrong. (fingers crossed)
I am looking forward to this adventure!!!
Best of luck to all who enter the outdoors on their own adventures.
