Southern Alberta Muley

[sheephunter]

Just got back from four days in southern Alberta and saw over 100 mule deer bucks and about 500 does. Must have seen 25 whitetail bucks and a couple hundred whitetail does as well. Populations are definitely strong where we were although exceptional mule deer bucks did seem scarce. We saw two bucks in the 170-class and the story was the same from most hunters we talked to. The rut was in full swing and the action was pretty incredible. Vanessa ended up taking this buck at 257 yards with the Creedmoor. Not the monster we were dreaming of but a pretty respectable buck none the less.

Great job. And that number of deer may equal what every hunter in MB saw.

I haven't seen a truly big muley in the far south for a few years now.


Nice deer.

Nice buck!! Love the colouring of the antlers.

With numbers like that any chance you'd be willing to share which wmu you were in (PM if you don't want to post it on here)? Haven't been having much luck up this way, wife is getting pretty annoyed with me being gone but not filling a tag lol

Would really appreciate it!
