Hey JD and skeeter, I'm back from the Zone! By the way zulu, I didn't get a buck or a shot but I don't regret spending the "big bucks" for my hunt in Alberta, which is a great place to hunt Giants. I had a great time. JD, sorry I couldn't hook up with you but I had a problem getting my main piece of luggage from Toronto. I finally got it the day after I arrived.
I saw about 18 or 20 deer during my 6 day hunt. Five bucks that I saw for sure and some I couldn't identify. No monsters. I brought two in with the Can. One decent 8pt came in from behind but I couldn't turn around for a shot without spooking him. It was neat! I saw 5 coyotes and had 2 cow moose come within 20 yrds of my stand, that was awsome!
I stuck to my guns and hunted hard, dark to dark all six days. I also had a doe that must have been around 200lbs within 20yrds. These deer are huge! Just for the record, I will be going back next year for sure. My guide put me in some great spots. Funnels and travel corridors ect. That is some prime habitat up there. Also the weather wasn't too bad except for that clipper that went through on Thursday. From calm and70 to 45mph wind and 40degree temps in five mins. Bizzar!
How are you two guys making out up to now? I'm looking forward to hearing from the both of you soon!
