This year makes two enormous Saskatchewan whitetail bucks that i have had to chase over a mile, in fact this year i had to chase him over 4 and a half miles!!!! through the thickest heaviest Northern Saskatchewan timer and scrub you can imagine all the while with him trying to play the same games they all do to get away.
Whew, I have waded through some internet forum BS in my days but it's been a long time since I had to roll my pants legs up this high to make it through. There is nothing about a deer living in Saskatchewan that makes him able to live longer without lungs than deer anywhere else. And the only way a wounded deer would travel 4 and a half miles is if he ran off a cliff and landed in the back of a truck. I won't even go into the feasability of being able to track a deer over 4 miles.
Tell you what. Invite me up to hunt these giant Saskatchewan bucks on your place. I'll bring one of my 243's. For every big buck I shoot that runs more than a mile I'll pay 3000 dollars for the hunt. Any that fall in a more reasonable distance cost me nothing. Deal?
Sounds reasonable to me. Hope you get to go to Canada next year Todd. I don't suspect that you'll have to bring the extra $3K
