Very nice buck Skeeter!

RE: Canadian Whitetails
 

Skeeter, I'm no expert but I think that's a 150" buck, give or take.

RE: Canadian Whitetails
 

Thanks guys. Yeah thats what I was thinking as well but a rough score shows he might be in fact a sleeper. I am waiting till my partner gets back he is working for an outfitter in the NE and took my measurement stuff with him...he should be back next week.

Early in, yes the past couple of years sask. residents have had a 2nd either - sex tag available for the forest zones only. It is a great opportunity and as well good for management as he deer herds are thriving in the forest or close to the forest areas. The rest of the province is 1 either-sex tag per year. Some zones you can also buy an anterless deer tag as well for whitetails.

Ag, his mass isn't huge by no stretch but average for a mature sask. whitetail. 5 and change at the base and carries itwell in H2/H3. H4 is around 4". I suspect he'll bring 38-40 in H measurements to the score card. Like I said I haven't offically taped him yet but his G2 & 3's are double digits (10-12" range) and he has good 4's as well around 7". Brows or G1's are weak at 4" range. Inside spread is 15" range and beams are pretty good 23" area. FYI I shot this deer approx. 1 hour east of Meadow Lake, north of where my cabin is located. I never saw a boot track in the area I was hunting and only a few trucks with orange in them driving the bush roads;)!

Ag,the rut around home is just getting going. I would think you'll see some rutting action next week. Best of luck to you.

I am heading out Saturday to see if I can't notch my remaining either-tag.

Likewise skeeter, best of luck.

Im outta here in a couple days and will post upon my return. hope to take a beaut like yours!

Was talking to my crew today, and they want to head north soon, maybe next year. Maybe you could point us in a general direction for next year skeet? :D:D

Best of luck.

Well boys I'm back as well. Overall the weather was very warm & windy and the hunting pressure got brutal. As I walked to my stand the first day I almost tripped on 2 other guy's and found another one in a tree 10 feet from my stand. Needless to say I was pissed[:@]but managed to sneak up on a buck but passed. The guy shot a 4x4 directly under my stand that morning and another 5x5 ran away. We really didn't see much in the way of big bucks. On Sat. I ended up passing on a few small bucks and decided on taking this guy. Not the biggest buck but it's my first non-typ. so I really liked him. Later in the day I pushed out this 5x5 whitetail for my cousin. I passed up on a w.t. buck last week because I couln't tell how big he was and the rest is history. Too warm and alot of wind! I think I'm done for the season as the temps look to be hot the rest of the week and my taxidermy bill is close to a grand. Oh well next year I'll look for a big Whitetail as my mulie tag will be another4 year wait. Pics to follow.

Skeeter great buck!! I'd guess 140-150 for sure maybe into the 160's.

Early, I'm glad you had a blast...it sucks to hold out and come up empty but that's the way she goes up here. I'm still debating on the wt I passed up but you gotta do it sometimes and it keeps the fires burning for next season.

Nice Muley JD, as usual you provided us with some real nice pics. Thanks. I didn't have unrealistic expectations before going to Alberta so I wasn't let down too much, I will be up there again next year for sure!
