merry christmas

Hey JD in Alberta,

Nice mulie, what's the spread on him? Nice mount too, where didyou get him done? I was raised on mulie hunting back in Sask, still got a soft spot for them, used to love to early season muzzleloader hunts in the south, everybody is all about the whitetails but it's tough to beat a good mulie hunt in my books. As for where I got this buck, like they say "I could tell you but I'd have to kill you "

Sam he's just shy of 26", I liked him because of thenon-typ. don't come across too many. I have a friend that does taxidermy here in Calgary. As for yours...didn't want to know where you got him, just where you live in Ab? I know hunting spots are secret here

Hi JD, I have a couple of questions for you. First, my whitetail guide told me he thinks abig mature muley buck is more waryand tougher to get than a mature whitetail, do you concurr? And also, do you have albino and piebalds in Alberta? I have never seen any in my hunting mags. Thanks.

Hey JD

I misunderstood your question about the secret hunting spot, but you are right it's secret... I live just outside of Edmonton and hunt north of here usually. I actuallyhunt more moose then whitetail or mulies but if the shot at a decent buck arises I'm not afraid to fill my tags.

Early...I love mulies but I still think the whitetail is a touch more wary and smarter. I think any deer has to be quite smart to grow to be old, but I have found whitetails to be like ghosts at times. As for Piebalds and Albinos I've seen pics of albinos but never seen one, no piebalds here as far as I know.

Sam...I do a yearly trip up to Lac La Biche every year for a big W.T. never got a brute yet but I know it'll happen one day.

Stick with the hunt, you're right one day you will get a chance, remember it only takes once. I take my video camera so if I pass something upI can still take a look later and show my buddies whats I saw. Don't get me wrong as much as I like shoting camera I prefer shooting my 30-06.

I go to Ontario Canada once a year to hunt and the reason we dont hear and seemore from up North is because they dont want us going up there and killing big bucks.

There is some decent Alberta Trail CamPictures found here; http://www.albertagame.com/boards/viewforum.php?f=23
