When does bow hunting season start in your area?
 
Here in Alberta bow hunting season starts on August 25th,07 in some WMU's and Sept. 5th in most others. I hope to go on Opening day (Aug.25th) andfill myself my 1st anterless W.T.doe tag and perhaps fill my2nd anterless W.T.deer tag on opening day of Sept.5. If this happens then I hope to use my 5 day hunt in WMU 234 and get some of those CWD deer(3), then if I get those then (3) more. Of course rifle season would be much better for this since 6 deer can be harvest in WMU 234. If all went well this fall I could end up with 12 deer. Maybe an elk as well.

The truth is the most I ever got was 5 deer. Ate three and gave two too people in need. If I was ever to get 12 deer the food bank would get at least 8 of them.

So is bow hunting in your area getting close?

Yea that is a long wait for sure eh. Well my friend I'm with you on thisbeing the year that we get thatdream buck. Too be honest with you I hadfive dream bucks in the palm of my hand and well a fewmay still be alive and kicking dream bucks (I think). One was the first buck (mulie) I ever saw out hunting...didn't shoot(1983). One was on a farm yard but I already got mine a couple of weeks before (W.T.buck)2003, another W.T.buck was seen in 2002 and 2003...but I already got one a few weeks earlier...I was after a doe. Plus another W.T.buck in 2002. Oh and the fifth one I missed in 2002, but was happy with this giant body size buck just a few days later.

So maybe this is our year...I mean all of us hunters who are still waiting for that big one.;)
