It’s interesting that by the time we are completely winding down for the year out here, you guys are chomping at the bit..
Moose winds down in a few days, elks closed, white tail and mule deer tags filled earlier in the year, sheep in September..
mind you things get going around august here!

Good luck and get yourself a bruiser, the one thing we don’t have around here are a lot of white tails and the big ones you really really really have to work for them, I’d bet it’s harder to shoot a mature white tail Buck consistently than a 6pt elk here.

My controlled hunt starts on Monday. Been super warm and supposed to stay that was next week. Haven't seen a fresh track in days now. Guess we'll see what happens. Good luck everyone.

My hunt has been cancelled due to severe weather and a lack of winter camping equipment

Absolutely gutted

Good luck to everyone going out

 

[DVXDUDE]

Excited as well. Been seeing lots of deer and 2 decent bucks when scouting. Not thrilled about the 15+ weather next week. Looks like below freezing at night with clear skies so should be some heavy frost.

Going out for the day tomorrow. Got an Elk tag (3 pts and larger). Heavy snow in the last couple of days - They may be down from the mountains so maybe we get lucky.

Not thrilled about the 15+ weather next week. Looks like below freezing at night with clear skies so should be some heavy frost.

I'm headed up to my camp north of the French River (42) and it sure looks mild until the end of next week. Not worried about the lake freezing this year!

Good luck everyone.

Where in the world are you hunting. Deer seasons don't open till November and elk also in most places is a week earlier. We usually don't see the bucks till the end of the month of November and in the 300 WMUs the elk don't show till November or even later. That's why cow tags go to the middle of December.

I would guess that there's the vast majority of hunters in Alberta that are only just getting ready for hunting to start.
You may be done early, but you are definitely in the minority of hunters in Alberta.

just waiting for legal shooting light

6 sleeps for me before I leave for Alberta for my Mulie draw and add-on Whitetail. Haven't hunted out West since god knows when so to say I'm looking forward to it is a huge understatement.

 

[valczer]

Monday can not come soon enough lol

Just picked up some Hornadys 12ga, SST, 300grain sabot slugs….oooooooooo yeaaaaaa!!!!!


Good luck, yo’all

and the real Deer hunting trip is not till next week so I don't want to use up all my tags

Oh it's snowing again and getting colder

The anticipation is killing me as well. My deer hunt doesn't until November 21st, only a 9 day hunt this year.
