Default RE: Alberta deer hunters & rattling

Too bad on the weather and not getting your trophy JD! Well I never got a booner or even close but I am pretty happy how the season on a whole went i got a freezer full of meat, lots of memories of good times, yet learned more and did get a little bone to hang. Our moose hunt turned out pretty well given poor weather and lots of hunters, we had fog for the first 2 days, snow for 3 days and darn cold -30 for the last 2 days - but the bucks were moving all week. We focused on moose till thursday and ended up harvesting 3 calf out of our crew of 6 in the bull/calf season. We saw only one bull on tuesday but the guy missed...how do you miss a moose[&o]..I guess it happens. We came home with deer as well, nothing huge but some respectable bucks. I filled my second either with a 5x5 bush buck on friday by rattling a swamp in the cold -30 weather at midday. Finished off the season on a busted up 5x in forest fringe.
