but 2 years ago i went on a bowhunt in manitoba didn't see 10 deer all week thats including riding around at night
hunted several years in manitoba and loved it we hunted on the man/sas border at russell manitoba, saw many great deer, we were limited to archery only and i never took a shot, could have killed several smaller 115-130" but was looking for 160+ and they were ther just not within bow range, with a m/l'er or rifle my hunts would have been over the second day every year, i would see from 5-25 deer in a day with several being good bucks..
i'd hunt up there every year if i could afford it
ain't it the truth, we hunted 6 or seven square miles and never saw another hunter, talk about light pressure
The only problem he is that the rut here doesn't start until November and 90% of the time we have a foot of snow and 20below celcius temps which make it hard to bow hunt.
boy i heard that, and i never thought i'd have those kind of problems pulling my bow
