Finally! got a big one!
 

Hey guys, I finally managed to get myself a big mulie!
28'' spread. Green score 160.
Was chasing a doe. Intersting thing happened. Immediatly after i shot him a small 2 point approached him and started sniffing his dead body. As i was gutting him another nice 4 point, a little smaller than mine was watching me from about 40 yards away.

I will post a better quality pic tomrrow, but heres one for now. Sorry for the fog.

Nice congrates

RE: Finally! got a big one!
 

Good Job! Congrat's!
What caliber and yardage?

RE: Finally! got a big one!
 

That is a Dandy! Good Job, but how about some facts on the shot, firearm, distance, etc.

RE: Finally! got a big one!
 

Shot was 35 yards, running with his head in a does butt!:D

Clearly he was thinking with his little head, she looked and aw me and he didnt take notice. Caliber was a 7mm.08. On an odd angle it hit both his heart and half of his spine, so he dropped where he stood.

Me and a buddy of mine have seen a few like this this year, but have yet to get a shot. Were taking this Thursday off to find him one, but as you all well know it is easier said than done.

I have yet to shoot and miss a four, so I am lucky. My buddy has missed 4 this year! Oh well, hell get one... good luck you guys ill post a clear one later today.

Aye thanks though man. He was across a lake from the one that lives in my buddies back yard.:D:D


Where in BC r u tang?

RE: Finally! got a big one!
 

Happens to us almost every time. I got my first mulie after giving my partner first shot. We were bent over gutting his kill. Stand up to stretch my back, and there's about eight pairs of eyes watching the spectacle. One of them pairs of eyes had a 24" 3x3, so I shot him at about 40 yds. I got the bigger buck after giving my partner the first shot.

They know when they're being hunted and when they're not, don't they? I wonder if staring intently at them, walking toward them, andsneaking around where they can't see you gives them a clue? :eek:

CONGRATS!!! Yours is bigger'n my biggest, for sure.

RE: Finally! got a big one!

Hi aqaucher,

Hope I didnt send this twice, trouble with the sat. I'm in Atlin. Believe it or not there is a pretty good population of mulies here too but protected. Saw one like yours last fall. I would post a pic but some trouble with file size I think.

again congrats

RE: Finally! got a big one!
 

Protected?
I thought there was a Mulie season everywhere in BC for atleast a week?

If you want, send that picture to me at [email protected] and I will post it for you through photobucket.

What kind of country is it around Atlin? And game?

RE: Finally! got a big one!

Thats a great looking mulie! Congrats!!

RE: Finally! got a big one!
 

Agucher:

Iam in Region 7a and I live in Mackenzie! We dp have big mulies here!

RE: Finally! got a big one!
 

Nice Buck! There certainly is alot of nice mulies being taken on the westside of the lake this year as well as a cranker I saw taken above McKinnly landing. On wednesday i watched an honest 30" inside spread mulie walk along the hillside above duck lake. Whos mounting your buck for you?

RE: Finally! got a big one!
 

HarleyWhite is taking care of thisone for me. Hes both a great guy, and has done some beautiful work.
you had a chance to take anything yet this year Hemi?
Take a look down a bit in this big game forum, I posted a pic of a nice mulie living in my friends back yard on Knox Mountain.

Where above McKinley did this beaut get taken? Like on the Winfield side?

RE: Finally! got a big one!
 

BTW Hemi, take a look down at "Nice Irregular Mulie" he came outta Mckinley if you didnt see that one.
:D

Moosehunter - I am heading up your way next August for that open season on moose!

RE: Finally! got a big one!
 

Agaucher,

The mulie was taken on the Winfield side as far as I know. I was lucky enough to take a nice BC book California Bighorn this year in Vasaux Lake. Harley does a nice job, but there is another guy in Kelowna doing EXCEPTIONAL work as well. All his work is by work of mouth..no advertising etc.. Mark Krouse is his name.. he had done some of my buddies deer and hes doing my Ram as well. Great guy, super prices and his turn around time on my Ram is 6months vs Harleys and others 2 year back log. Just thought I would mention it.

RE: Finally! got a big one!
 

Nice nice. I think i have heard his name from the fellows at Bear Creek Sports. Congrats on the Ram. I am planning on heading upto Ashnola next year regardless if I can get a draw for a ram, as there are some beautiful mulies up there as well. As for turn around Harley's is 6 months for that mulie.

I am heading to sask this upconing weekend, and hope to shoot 150+ whitetail. If so, I will take his head to a diff. taxidermist to compare work/prices/turnaround.

What other types of hunting you do around here?

RE: Finally! got a big one!
 

wow...6 months from Harley is super fast!...a buddy just took his Dall sheep in and wont have it back for 18-20 months! Harley does a great job though. The Ashnola is a nice area.

I actually live in Rock Creek and work in Kelowna area Mon-thurs. Most my hunting is up here. Elk,mulies and whities. I usually go to Moberly Lake for my moose hunt everyAugust 15th,but my Ram hunt messed that up. Next year I will go if I do not get my Dall draw. Then myself and one of my buds are packing in to Mt Mahon in the Kootenays for Elk in sept.

RE: Finally! got a big one!
 

Wow exciting hunts. What would you recommend for whitetail around here? I have hunted Christian valley a lot in the past, but as I am sure you know its WAY over hunted. I actually was thinking about starting to look on the beaverdell side.

Where abouts is Moberly Lake, and how productive is it? I have never been moose hunting and was going to just "wing it" during that August early season. You know just drive up north and hope for the best I guess.:D

Where in town do yah work?

RE: Finally! got a big one!
 

Christian Valley has some nice areas for whitetails but like you mentioned its high pressure....which sometimes isnt a bad thing because it does flush them out. Beaverdell is pretty decent...lots of traffic there also. Hall Creek isnt bad. Trapper.

Moberly Lake is between Chetwynd and Hudsons Hope. There is an abundant moose population all through there. We take our bulls every year out of there as do many guys. Its about a 10 hour drive. Closer to the season I could give you some areas to check out if you were interested.

Im a Welder/Ironworker for a structural steel company in Kelowna. We contract to Kelowna Steel Fabricators.....You?
