I have hunted some east of Slave lake (in forested areas)and there are good numbers of white-tails. West of Slave there is some farm country that is reported to have lots of deer. We have had some resonable winters the last few years and fair moisture this year. I have seen some pretty good bucks around home here in west central Alberta latley.

Get your hands on a copy of "BIG BUCK MAGIZINE" (see www.bigbuckmag.com) and you will see the kind of bucks you might get hooked up on. They are not behind every tree and you will see lots of does and small and medium bucks before you see monachs like these. But they are there and the best way to get a moonster buck is to put in as much time hunting as you can and don't close your tag on one that is not "big enuf" for you.

Have a good hunt

P.S. have a couple of deer calls in your pocket at all times. If you see a buck and can't get a shot for some reason, you can often get him back for a second chance with a call.
