Elk tag filled!
Quite late in the season, and I never was able to get amongst them during the rut, but I'm so grateful nonetheless.
This guy let me sneak up to him and get within 30yds. No pass through, but he only went 40 yards.
My second elk ever, and lucky enough to get one two years in a row

Moved back to NB late this summer. Was pretty de-motivated leaving the Alberta Whitetail Deer Mecca for the colonoscopy capital of Canada for deer hunting. Did manage to find a buck this fall in mid Nov and sent an arrow through the cage at 17 yards. Small 8 point with a solid body. About 180 lbs FD
Pretty happy actually given the dismal deer herd here this year...latest reports since season closed Saturday was 4000 deer harvested, down from 8000 last year, down from 10K the year before ( early 90's annual harvest was typically 30K animals). The poor herd is in a tailspin and the hunters are going wild with Natural Resources folks and politicians, blaming forestry companies for unethical post-clearcutting practices of replanting monoculture species and spraying glyphosate to kill ALL competing species of trees/shrubs except the replanted softwoods. Combine that with crazy winter snow depths ( 400+ cm last year), coyotes, and cutting of wintering areas...and the deer are getting hit from every angle.

Last day for many, 1 week left for Strathcona Deer season. Lots of great animals taken this year thanks for sharing.
Maybe there are a few more to come.

Well how about that?!
I've been trying to get access for a couple of weeks. I could log on but not much else. One of my questioning e-mails must have finally made it.
Anyway shot this Whitetail two weeks ago. Same equipment.
Nice critters everyone.

Not much of a story to this one. I had been watching the herd all summer. Knew where they would be opening morning and beat them to it.
45 minutes into elk season I shot this small cow/calf with my Mathews Z7 Xtreme, Easton FMJ arrows and G5 montecs at 33yds. Complete pass through. She only made it 10yds.
