You guys getting the whitetails to come in to calls/rattling yet? I have a mature target buck I have to try to hunt from the ground. I’m hoping to get him before bow season ends.

I was doing some grunting at least a week ago and had three bucks come out right by the stand, unfortunately the wind shifted right before last light and the big guy busted me.

Nice; I don't hold high hopes for this guy - he's survived lots of wolves, cougars and grizzlies and many seasons. But dang, would I be happy to see his gear up close.

It's to early in southern alberta for the whitetail rut. Just be quite and head to toe camo spot and stalk. The damn crunchy snow makes for slow going.

Yeah I’m hoping to get some responses late oct before rifle. There’s no spotting this boy. He’s a bush buck. I’ll try some still hunting on a few of the trails. Damn snow ruined looking for early scrapes last week.

Yeah I'm pretty proud of her, this is her second big game animal. She also took a really nice muley velvet muley last year, so she has a pretty good start to her hunting career.
We spotted this buck with another the day before and they ended bedding out in the canola, so we let them be (I'm not a fan of going into canola for multiple reasons, and it would have be too tall for a shot anyways). We carried on for the day but didn't really turn up much. We returned that evening to find this buck out in the field, so we made a game plan to come back in the morning to see if we could find either of the bucks again. We spoke to the land owner and we were granted permission to pursue them if we they were still in there in area.
The next morning we returned and didn't see either of them at first light, the field is pretty hilly so we decided to go for a walk around the outer edge of the field. As we walking down the hill we noticed this buck and a smaller one standing on the edge of a slough, looking right at us. We layed down in the fence line and waited them out unit they settled back down, 3 more does came out of the slough and had joined them. I stayed along the fence to keep an eye on the buck while my fiance crawled back to the truck to suit up and grab her bow.
The two bucks and a doe all bedded on a side hill 30 yards from the edge of the slough. Where they were bedded the crop was only up to the bucks belly, so if we got into position she should have a clear shot. We crawled down the fence line to the edge of the slough, then we crawled through the slough until we were positioned below them. The buck was bedded in a way that the crop was over his eyes but below his rack. She ranged his antlers at 31 yards. Then the waiting game started, he stood 3 different times but didn't present her a shot. After 4 hours she finally got her opportunity. The buck jumped the string a bit and was hit back a ways but he ran the the next slough and bedded down and expired shortly after. Best part was that slough was right next to the road, so we only had to going into to crop to grab her arrow.
It was all smiles the rest of the day! I'm pretty excited for her.

Got this 8x10 202” Muley with my longbow crawled two hours through crop and thorns to get a shot. Don’t hang me to high but I’m also in sask. I’ve got a lot better pics but won’t upload. Keep a look out for a feature in big game illustrated magazine as well as RACK Magazine, bowhunting magazine and mule deer foundation magazine.

Shot this spike bull on Oct 10th, I really wanted to shoot a nice bull this year but things have not gone as planned. Had this guy come in and decided to shoot him after looking at the poor guy. He had a fractured skull at his antler base that crushed his eye socket. Eye was dangling.
Next day out I had a beautiful 6x6 at about 15’. 7 bulls in one night. While I feel a little disappointed to not have the opportunity to take a nice bull ( have yet to shoot a branch antlered bull) i am appreciative of the elk meat to feed the family.

While on a Mule Deer archery hunt (I’ve been unsuccessful so far), this Yote came into 30 yards so I had to take a shot. This is my son with it.

Hunted a new setup (treestand) I put up in the dark, on a property I have hunted for years. Made a guess where the deer might move because of the cattle on the property. Guessed right and had a herd of 10, or so, come by. This guy was at the back. 28 yard shot, 80 yard recovery. Not a huge deer, but one of the bigger ones I have seen in this spot. Was pretty exciting watching a tall, dark antlered, big bodied buck approach through the timber. Awesome experience.

Was able to knock down this old old warrior during the hurricane on Friday. He finally gave me the opportunity I could capitalize on as I’ve been trying to get him for the last couple years. He greatly regressed the last year. He was a solid 175” the past two years.
This was him last year
