Hi all,

Nice to see some of the same old familiar names back again for another fall.

Way to go Skeeter! you make killing elk look easy.

seems like everyone else has some promising plans or prospects for this fall.

My summer and fall have been pretty crazy. Back in the spring my wife and I decided to start looking for a new house in PR. We thought we had everything sorted out and a new place lined up when one half of our deal fell through at the last minute (our sale). Within a day of all of that happening, I got a phone call for an interview about a job in Saskatoon that I had applied for nearly a year ago. Long story short, i took the job and we moved back to Saskatoon in July. Since then, I have been crazy busy doing fall field work and trying to get life sorted out here in S'toon.

Hunting has been a little hit and miss so far this fall. I haven't really been out yet in Sask. I pulled a bunch of tags in the Alberta draws and was only able to save my antlered elk and early season moose draws by switching them to non-resident tags.

So far the only hunting i've done this fall was last week (3rd-10th) up around PR looking for elk and moose. Elk hunting was a bust, we only saw one cow and heard one bull in three days of hunting. We did bugle in a very nice bull moose though, too bad it was the wrong zone for my moose draw.

Moose hunting was better but the result was the same. We called in plenty but none would commit to taking the last few steps into the open. Some were blown by swirling wind and the only one that showed chose to dart across the cutline while I was busy fiddle f*cking with my range finder. It was still a fun trip. I'm trying to console myself by imagining all the headaches of dealing with a dead moose 24 degree heat. Not sure if it's working.

Anyway, my Sask health card showed up the other day so I'm GTG for deer. Hopefully i'll have some stories to share this fall.

Good luck guys. Keep the stories and pics coming.

Sask.
