looks great imo.

I do most of my bucks that way, regardless of their size unless their 'mounters'. I usually use a plaque, but thats just personaly preference.

Skeeter, to be honest with you I have no idea:(I'm going to be asking around and getting some info from friends who went out this year, and people from Sask (which there is no shortage here:)) I have a feeling we'll just start driving east and start from scratch. Do some on the go scouting. Another buddy got a 155 and so did his partner. I'm liking the stories they are telling me.

The racks look good! I like to put them on plaques myself with a picture or bullet (if I find it).

p.s. If you guy's are looking for a gift to tell the wife to get you, check out Wal-Mart. They have some decent dvd's especially the jim shockey Giant Whitetails. It's awesome!!!

JD, where abouts in alberta do you hunt?

I am heading down to taber area just prior to my annual sask hunt next year for w hitetails.

Are there any management units north of edmonton that are open to Elk for canadian residents? Meaning I live in BC, not alberta :D

RE: Canadian Whitetails
 

ag...I'm in Calgary but hunt all over Alberta. I'm pretty sure there are I'm guessing around the Peace area. Check the on-line regs for specifics.

Thanks guys. The first attempt I was referring to was on Moose BTW. I have done numerous deer in euro style and all have been plaqued, however moose skulls are well LARGE.

For S&G's I set it on the fireplace mantle beside the christmas tree last night and never said a word to the wife. She just called me on the cell to voice her thoughts....hohoho! She actually thinks it looks pretty cool. Hey maybe some hope for my elk euro that I did a number of years agoto adorn the stairwell to upstairs...well maybe not but I am trying!!![8D]

I plan to just clean off & bleach the skull cap of the deer. It will go up in my second home...the garage. Which is known as the lodge. It is the place where plans are formulated, work is done and lots of BS is told...the odd brew gets kicked back as well. :)

JD, thanks for the christmas hint.Sounds like you have some sources to help with your direction. If you got a bit of time you'll make out alright, however good deer exist all over the province the trick is finding them.

Skeeter,

Nice looking bucks you guys got there! Well bud I managed to put an arrow in a pretty decent 4x4 the second day of my late archery season. The story and pix are posted on Hunting Nets Home page in the "field journals" or just click below...

Northern Manitoba has some tremendous whites but Saskatchewan i think has the kings.

RE: Canadian Whitetails
 

Hi all,

I'm new to the website but thought I would add my buck to those big guys taken up north. I'm a born and raised Sask boy but moved to Alberta (like most of Saskatchewan) for school and work. I always used to make fun of the Alberta bucks compared to the Sask ones until I got my buck this year. He Green scored 170 2/8 typical but he has some serious mass for a typical withbases over 6"and an average circumference of over 5.5." and a 24" inside spread. So I guess Alberta has some good bucks too. Bottom line nowhere compares to the great white north.

Damn sam, that's a monster. Congrats and welcome. I started this thread and it seems to be REAL popular! I hunted in the Edmonton Bow Zone this past Nov. formy first time. Didn't get a buck but had an awesome time none the less. Bucks like the one you posted are why I will be back in the Bow Zone next year! Again, welcome.

Sam...nice pig!! He's a brute, where abouts are you in AB?

I just got my mulie back from the taxidermist last night, heres some pics.
