Blah, Ivan dumped just over 6" of rain on us yesterday. Thankfully we live on higher ground. However many of the local streets are shut down because of damage.

Hope everyone is doing well!
I've been out 3 times so far as time is limited..
First day out a couple of small 4x4's and does was all that came out
It rained the whole time, and with 2 hours left in the day it began to hail then snow!! It was a bit windy also, so I think the deer bushed it for a bit
2nd time out: Bad day all around as just does and fawns came within bow range, with a nice 5x5 about 100 yards out...he'll come by again
One of my hunting buds did down his first deer with his bow a few clicks away...a nice sized WT Doe. He was pretty happy as it dropped about 40 yards from his stand.
3rd time out was a try at some Elk...no Elk, but a nice 5x4 mulie almost was downed...spotted us at 50 Yards and walked away and into the bush. We were going to try and stalk him but we only had about 5 minutes of legal light left. The walk out yielded about 30 WT's chowing down on some alfalfa...a new stand site as we'll throw one up there this week (3 shooters were in the bunch...one should push about 170, real tall and way past his ears...but light was really limited as we seen them on the walk out)
I think I'll use some sick days near the end of the week and sit in a couple of stands for WT. Heading up to Northern AB in 2 weeks for a Mulie/Moose/Elk trip...Another hunting bud just got back from a 2 day hunt where we are heading, although the weather was bad he seen about 30 Bull Moose, one Gagger Mulie and a few shooter WT's...looking forward to that!! He came back with a nice Black Bear also.
All the best
