I just helped a buddy out with his LE Draw Bull tag here in Alberta last week. The tag holder has shot over 30 bulls in his life but this was his biggest and he was happy! He also had some health issues so we had to manage the hunt in a way that made it possible and made it into a great hunt...
Last Friday the kid had no school and I was off work so I called a buddy that was looking for cats to see if we could help out. He was happy to accommodate and we him at his place to see if we could turn up a cat for a mutual buddy. We drove some lease and forest service roads all am. We saw...
Well, we waited 15 years and decided to utilize our priorities gained to draw 2 bull ek tags in the same unit. My friend and i did the same tags 15 years ago and we had quite the adventure then......we got lost and spent the night on the prairie......whole other story...lol
We got down to our...
Well after a 5 year wait I decided to pull a bull moose tag in a zone that I was somewhat familiar with. Never seen any great bulls previously but always a few. Snow had fallen and the temps had dropped to minus 25 Celsius at night and i had a couple days to burn with my 12 yr old son.
Off we...
Just getting started with scouting after being drawn for archery antelope here in my home province of Alberta. season opens at the beginning of September so got to get er done..... good luck to everyone else on their adventures this fall!
I went out on the weekend and burned a tank of fuel in Antelope country here to see what I could find. A few fawns were seen and I also saw a few coyotes being chased by antelope does so the timing is now for sure. Damn things......
Here are a few pics of what I found. A few loners, a group...
Decided to drive a few hours with my son to see what we could find for antlers. We met up with a buddy and his son for some exercise, hiked the edges of his farm hard and found nothing for most of the day. Lots of deer sign, just nothing on the ground we could see. We went back to his farm for...
I had two close friends that are brothers, get special draws for a wildlife management unit I am familiar with here in Alberta. It didn't take long for me to reply that I would take time off to help them out as I love this area and these are good friends. Mr. Winter sent us a blast in the...
Decided to get together with buddies and whiten up some deer skulls and drink some beers to get back to normal. 3 taken in 2019 and 1 from 2018. All AB WT with the biggest in the low 160's.
Based on our priority based draw system I should be hunting antelope with a bow in Alberta this fall. I am fortunate to travel into our area for work about once a month which is about 3 ours away from home. I went looking for a buck that I had found last year and after ten minutes, he popped...
A buddy of mine shot a good bull for our area a while ago but he was disappointed that the main beam was busted after the fifth point. We ended up hearing later on from another hunter that he had missed the bull and shot his main beam off. Of course what guy wouldn't want another 6-8 inches...
Kid and I went for a stroll in familiar country and he found a beauty set that we missed last year as we walked past this spot multiple times but at different angles. Found one the first day and the other was about a half mile away in another low spot on day two. Colour is mostly gone which is...
Good day all,
Quick question from someone not familiar with the Montana Draw System. My hunting group applied for antelope( not antelope B or 900) in one of the northern Montana zones last year for the first time. We all purchased Priority points last year and this year as it was our second...
My brother in law has had some tough times over the year with a major eye injury last year. The story to come is a great example of keeping at it and how things can work out. I will bring this on a little at a time for some excitement!! The buck at the end is a true northern boreal forest...
well, we had another bull moose tag for a Unit that we have a great chunk of land to hunt. Its the same unit that we have hunted in the past with great success on 50" plus bulls. we saw this one in a good spot on opening day and was able to watch my close friend and two other guys work their...
Well after seeing him come out of draw chasing a doe at last light, we knew he had mass but was short and couldn't see what he had. We tried to find him in the am and found another buck for a buddy that was on the trip. After all the work was done we decided to walk the coulee he came from the...
