Southern Alberta Mule Deer
Well after a six hour drive finally got to my destination to find two feet of snow and much more in the coulees.
This made for heavy slugging into areas and toss in the wind, I mean wind which made you dress like you were sitting in -20 especially in the morning sits.
Over the last few days the mid day warm winds melted the snow down so that was a good thing.
We seen many deer just not the one but yesterday it just felt like this buck was the one and we sealed the deal!
The little 6/284 sent the Hornady
Interlock 100gr SP to its mark 150 yards with wind over my back which was a good thing. 
Now back up north to hopefully seal the deal on my draw moose which has been another adventure too.

These wide open spaces are intimidating for guys like me who shoot game well under 100 yards.
And did I mention that DAM wind!!!!
Hard to see when your eyes are watering constantly.

Congrats on that fine Muley.
I'm guessing your partner is your Father In Law? Hunting with a cane is bad *****. Hope that'll be me one day.

You bet, 81 years young, one replaced knee and the other on the waiting list for surgery, ain’t no sitting around feeling sorry for himself too much life to live!
Great mentor.

He actually does all the leg work, gets permission to hunt various areas from landowners, scouts, sets up areas to ambush and when we get drawn we discuss when he feels it’s best to hunt for four days based on what he see’s.
The draws on average take 6-8 years and we have had some great past hunts, looking to many more too.

That’s a good thing to have a scouter nowadays as the biologist have pretty much destroyed our mule deer numbers. It’s just about impossible to find a big mule deer.
