I saw a whitetail on Friday that had his brows and G2's and drop tines on each side. His main beams were probably 8-10" long.

Lived in Banff and Jasper years ago and saw hundreds of elk. Just south of town one Sept we saw a big bull running along the ditch all snotted and wild eyed - ...then we saw the bull he was running from!

Some monsters there for sure.

Saw a mule buck near Cochrane Thursday with 8-9" and the start of a main fork. Things are looking healthy and this rain is going to help.

Checked cams yesterday, had much more game On cam then was expecting. Coyotes , beaver , racoon , deer and moose.

2 different bull moose one forming its front paddles already with some considerable growth.

Couple strong wt bucks similar to previous posts and one the is a cut above the rest being as wider than ears already but this deer in particualar does not have one brow tine.

One mulee with a good beams and starting rear forks.

Population looks very healhty. Really blowing out winter coats now.

One poor lady moose with zero hair on front quarters and looks pretty rough shape from ticks. Worst I have seen personally

I saw 4 White tail bucks inside Medicine Hat the other day. One had about 8 inches of growth other 2 where around 4" and one sickly looking one with abou 2 to 3" of growth. That first one has gotta be the one I saw late winter. Full 10 points. Great looking buck that will probably die of old age. I found a rub line which had to be his. He shredded a a small tree and all the other small trees right next to it where pretty shredded too.
