Talked to my neighbour he went out yesterday and "GONG SHOW". I won't bore you with the entire story/details but he ended up filling his tag with a young buck that was missing his left rear leg at the knee joint and most of his right antler from errand shots. I guess I am wrong in my feelings about the last dance decoy tactics the CO's use!

On a postive note he sawa couple big herds of elk including a grand daddy back stratchin' hoss, along with 6 moose which included 3 really good bulls in the 45 and up range. Apparently some of the mac daddymoosesurvived this years draw in the hills!! They were hunting E of hanley in the allen hills area BTW. For those unfamilar with this terrain it isn't where elk and moose traditionally live,though they are thriving. A number of years ago SERM transplanted some elk and they took off litterally. The moose have always been around in small numbersbut equally are booming. There has been 60" sheds from moose and 400 class bull elk shedsfound in this area. The elk have been on a special draw for the past 3 years (but the last 2 have been cows only) and moose draw was just introduced this year for this area. So far I haven't heard of many big ones shot in this particular zone but i am sure their were some hogs dropped just like south and W in these open terrains.

Unconfirmed at this point but this moose was either shot in the above area on draw or to the west area around unity/wilkie area(similar first time draw). The mac daddy's farmland produces here in saskatchewan, when nobody has been able to harvest them!
