This post isn't referred or pointed at anyone but its allot easier for people to say yeah you got it made where you hunt and I wish I could hunt there because I'd have big bucks on my walls too. I hear this from people here in Minnesota who have prime hunting land. This drives me nuts. Most of these people will never put in the effort needed or go where the big guys are because there more then likely afraid of disappointment and failure. If your going to hunt these big bucks you damn well better be able to except disappointment and failure. It is what it is when your hunting these bucks!!
Right on Schultzy, so true. I came to realize that chanceswere slim to noneof mekilling the kind of buck thatI dreamof here in Pa. Don't get me wrong, I love bowhunting in Pa, and put in a ton of time doing it with great results. But the reallybig bucksare few and far between.
So, I set my sights on the Edmonton Bow Zone in Alberta.It's an expensive hunt up there becauseby law, as anon resident, you MUST have a guide/outfitter.BUT, you don't have to worry about a draw for your tag, it's guarenteed. I find peace of mind in that.
My second year up there ('06)I killed my biggest buck to date, not the monster I'm dreaming of killing, but a nice one. I'll be up there again in'08 on my fourth hunt so we'll see what happens. You gotta play to win!
By the way, I see big bucks every time I'm there. Getting a shot opp is another story. I've shown this pic numerous times, but I can't help it.
