Default RE: Trophy wall...the beginning (pics)

Treedog, (in short version) the w.t. is from southern Alberta and I shot him at 10 yards on a full tilt run, as my buddy pushed him and a doe he was chasing right to me. It took us 6 hours from the time we spotted him to the time we got him back to the truck. It' s funny how a 1/2 hour stalk turns into 5 1/2 hours to drag it uphill. The mulie is from Eastern Alberta near the badlands, we were tipped off by a couple of oil patch guy' s that they saw some bucks in the morning in a field so we drove over and did a push. We were in the middle of no where and I figured no deer would even want to be around, since there was no cover but we walked and walked until we came to a low spot in a field and bedded on an almost non existent creekside was this buck and 2 others with 5 does. I dropped to my belly and put him in the crosshairs. When I saw the beautiful rack I decided he was the one I had been waiting for fo 4 years (thats how long it took to get drawn) he popped up and I took him. Needless to say, another long drag home but ' ll never forget those 2 great days. The only work I did was get them to the taxidermist, they were done by a couple of local guy' s. Thanks for all the feedback, I' ll update it after this season...hopefully it' ll have an elk up there
