QS, welcome and please feel free to join in more. I owe my employer far more than $50 for the lost time
but i make it up by not taking coffee breaks
JD, ya still lots of snow but that'll change starting thursday +8 [:'(]. Goodluck on your search
Hia, good to hear the moose pop'n is on the rebound in the park, the ticks must have left them alone for a few winters.
Tsheaf, nice looking critters. Congratulations.
Alberta has a limited entry draw for Merriam's turkeys down south but I think it's a long wait for a tag.
Skeet, sorry to hear about the tough sheddin' Are you guys still up to your armpits in snow? As for SERM, I have never seen a bio or tech position advertised. You could probably count all the provincial bios on one hand. It's too bad that a province with the wildlife and fisheries resource that you have isn't managed to maximize the potential. Could you imagine what hunting there could be like if there was the same funding as Alberta (which still isn't a lot).
BTW, thanks for all the comments on the pictures. Just in case you not all sick of them yet here's a few more. I played hookie from work this afternoon and went out looking in the same area as I found the whitetail shed the other day. Apparently that b*st*rd buck didn't get the memo that sheds are usually within 300 yards of each other. It took all afternoon to find the bugger, but it was worth it. I was just about to head back when the dog stopped to sniff something on the trail ahead. Sure enough, she found it. It was 1.33Km from where he dropped the right side. Intrestingly enough, that was the only shed I found which leads me to believe that most are still packing both sides. I even saw two young bucks fighting over their spot at the bale on the drive home
. Anyway, i'll head out again on the weekend. Here's the pics, the droptine on the left antler is just over 6inches and together the set grosses about 136 with a conservative 16 inch spread. Proof in my mind that score isn't everything.
as spotted
as it laid
another view
Together again
