Large Game Pics - Deer, Moose, Bear...

My buddy, his son, and I hunted southern Alberta this year.

The boy got his first buck, although he's shot a few does.

First black bear. My precise measurements tell me it is 5 of my size 12 Hanwag boots from nose to tail. My guess is 5.5 feet. Nice scarred up face on him too. 8mm Husqvarna sealed the deal. I have a pic of last years grizzly somewhere that I'll post up eventually.

My first moose, they sure are big up here. I used my 9.3x62 with 286gn Norma Oryx Bullets. Rack measures 44.5, this is the smaller of two that I saw on the weekend. The other didn't offer a shot and spooked off.
Lessons learned-Packing it out solo is a LOT OF WORK.


 
Well at 23 years old and after many years of having rabbits and coyotes being the biggest things I have hunted I finally made the jump and got my first deer! Just a doe but for me its a deer and a hunt I will never forget. Of course my older brother being him had to show me up with his first ever buck, and what a fat boy that buck is! All and all Thanksgiving was a productive day and gave us many things to be thankful for!

2018 opening day moose (Oct. 6). Guided my fiancé to this nice bull in my "honey hole". After 3 hours cow calling with no response, I switched to bull grunts and brush raking. Within 20 mins of switching, heard him raking viciously just 100 yards into the woods, after a few more scrapes back and forth between us; (with my trusty shoulder blade) he stepped out and gave her a perfect broad side shot. He was coming for a fight, and by the look of the 3 cracked off points on his antlers, it wasn't his first this rut.

Sweet moose Betty-Lou, right on.

Pinned this moose with my bow friday morning from a tree stand.
Came straight in to cow calls with a bit of bull grunting until he was just a bit left of and below me.
Hit down through left lung and into heart, went 30 yards and dropped.
Took me 8 hours to bone him out and pack frame him to nearest trail access for my truck, only about a 1/3 of a mile away, wore me out big time, but it most certainly could have been worse, LOL.

I called in a decent buck yesterday in the muzzleloading zone but it took 4 hours to get him to the truck since most of the snow was gone which made for some hard pulling up a long step incline. I should be getting smarter about where I drop deer but it seems I don't.

Great pics everyone!
So wife's been hunting a nice buck but hasn't had the right shot despite lot's of effort and opportunity. I was literally walking down the hall to put on my coat and go for a walk N of the yard and see this guy 25 yds from the house out the office window. I call wife to come look, she went out the S door in her jammies I out the N. Long story short wife gets this buck exactly 2 yrs from her last one, a good 250-300 yd shot which for wife is a very good shot(I figure it heard me walking down the back steps and decided it a good time to change addresses). Claims from now on she's only htg Nov 24. "claims" Our first SK deer. Note wife's jammie pants.

Trail the trucks on is about 400 yds S of our house.

BTW wife is clwpainter, the secret santa organizer
