early September mule deer
A bit late out of the gate but here's a couple of shots from a Sept 1st pack in mulie hunt. My wife and I did this trip last year and it was so much fun we went back and took along a friend of ours from Vancouver. We were hunting south central BC.
In the 4 days we were up in the high country we saw 10 bucks, 8 were 4X4 or better and at least 4 of the 8 would go B&C. We also saw 5 grizzlies & a wolf.
Of course I didn't get any photo's of the deer. Helen was hunting with her muzzle loader, I had my 'curve and our friend his sako. I never did get in tight enough for a shot on any of the bucks, wife got winded on a stalk on a non-typical hat rack, and our friend tipped over one of the smaller 4X4's.
Long day, tired wife

Hey LB!
Maybe one of these days you'll get up here. Haven't seen/heard from Marc in a long time- not since before he moved. Had a full year hunting this year Started with griz in the spring, did a 14 day stone sheep/mtn goat/caribou fly in hunt in mid Aug, then mulie hunt in early Sept and rounded out with a week of whitetails in Nov.
All with the Mrs.
All incredible hunts, lost a bunch of weight but the freezer stayed empty until the whitetail trip.
cheers,
RC

Wow! Sounds like you were busy! The one hunt I was able to do in Northern Ontario was one of the best of my life, and the only "meat" I had to show for it was a couple of spruce grouse (was moose hunting). I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
