Beauty buck. Lovely brown and shiny rack. A 400 yd. off hand shot on a moving target is way beyond my ability but really glad to hear you got him. Congrats. Easy to see while you'll be returning to hunt those famous Sask. whitetails!

The coldest it got was -37 friggen cold and to be honest i was there for 3 days and could say i seen at least 120 to 130 bucks some decent bucks like 130's 140's we did see some real pigs but they were gone like hell before we could even get out of the truck but when the weather is that cold all you can do is drive around or find a good spot to sit and glass the area in your truck with the heater on full lol but all you really gotta do is ask farmers for permission to hunt there land and most farmers are really nice people and they give you permission to hunt there land quite often,, andwe also had one farmer actually take us around and show us all the areas on his land we could hunt and he had 8600 acres of land so we were pretty happy and we are gonna keep in touch with him they are really good people there,, other than that i would say for every 5 does you se you will see a buck unlike hee every 100 does ya see your lucky to se a buck there is sooo many deer there it is actually awesome to see it just amazed me and they can hide and dissapear in a matter of seconds it is soo much fun i loved it and i am definately gonna go back next year,,

Wow you had a good whitey season this year, how does he compare to your east kootenay buck? Should score close to the same.

Nice job now you have 2 whitetails to get mounted..

chevy
12-01-2007, 11:47 AM
yeah i am gonna have an expensive taxidermists bill lol but he scored just a little better than my east kootenay whitetail it went 164 even and thanks i did have a great year and cannot wait till next year im just itching to get out already lol oh well only 359 more days to go to get to saskatchewan again and counting

nice buck chevy

Sask this year was the best it has been in the last 4 or 5 years. Last year many parts of sask had heavy snow by the time the out of province hunt occured, leaving many 120-130 class bucks alive. This year the crew Iwent with all took 135-150" whitetails, whereas the average most years would be closer to 120. The COs that checked us said by far this has been the best year they had seen in many... we had 11 guys with us, what a great trip!

400 yds off hand and a running shot to boot, in the guts. You should be proud of yourself. Is this what hunting is all about? You heard the one about the lucky fool ?

He felt comfortable taking a long shot with the magnum and hit the deer a little further back then he wanted,whats the problem ,how many guys take multiple shots at long range and blow a leg off and never get the deer.Unless you know all the facts about the hunt then you should take your ignorant opinion and stick it up yur azz.

Onesock
12-13-2007, 08:25 AM
BHF- In your own azz. Your as smart as he is if you condone this type of shootiong. It was only pure luck that kept this deer from having blown off legs or no nose.

BIGHUNTERFISH
12-13-2007, 08:44 AM
I wouldnt try that shot but he felt comfortable with it or got caught up in the moment and took the shot, and was able to harvest the deer.I think he already said that he hit it too far back and it probably bothers him,but you have no right to judge his ethics unless you know all the facts,if he made a mistake he will learn from it.I think he travelled a long way for this hunt and saw this monster buck and got excited and tried a very tough shot. There are probably alot of guys that have made bad shots or get buck fever and make a bad mistake,hopefully we all learn from them,but dont come on hear and take away what probably a great hunt for him.And no offense with the azz comment,I didnt mean it literally.

Nice buck chevy! I have seen guys make bad shots in perfect conditions. You felt comfortable taking the shot and you killed that deer. You could of this or you could of that!!! Bottom line-You got yourself a nice trophy . congrats!

Onesock
12-13-2007, 09:25 AM
This is the type of shooting that is a black mark against all hunters. We have to police our own ranks gentleman and try to do the right thing, every time. If a lesson was learned this time, thats good. If not, and hunters assume these shots should be taken we as hunters are in trouble.

chevy
12-13-2007, 10:34 AM
Seriously cant you guys just say good job nice shot instead of always trying to find something new to bitch about seriously,,, this is a hunting thread not a whining thread c'mon guys guess what i got the deer so let it be

Sorry Chevy. Can't do that if i don't agree. Try to clean up your ack in the future. If not for yourself for the rest of us!!

12-13-2007, 10:41 AM
:roll: I understand Onesock`s comments but in fairness to Chevy "Prairie Shooting" for deer takes on a different perspective when it comes to distances . Having said that 400 yds moving deer and offhand is a bit of a gamble and lets be frank about this he wounded it with his first shot . The kill area on a deer is three times smaller than the wounding area(approx) and would appear that the wounding rate would also be three fold a kill rate . Is this fair to the animal that we are supposed to admire and respect ???
I suspect his decision to shoot was in the excitment of the moment and am sure he learned from that and all of us have been there .
I don`t know of anyone who would be comfortable shooting 400 yds offhand at a moving target . :grin: I put money down any day on that one . Someone posted a while ago that he would rather brag about getting close that taking a chansy long shot .

:grin: Chevy , glad you had a good hunt and harvested a great buck.

chevy
12-13-2007, 09:45 PM
First off thanks and second i never wounded him the first shot i only shot him once and he dropped,, And i am also comfortable shooting at that distance off hand if i can hit a 300 yard dong at the rifle range off hand every shot then i think i am confident to do it on a deer which is 10 times the size of a foot round metal dong at 300 yards i do alot of shooting in the off season i mean alot that is all i do,, and shooting in sask isnt easy it isnt like around here where you actually have a chance of getting closer to the animal you want to harvest there is a 95% chance in saskatchewan where you aint gonna get closer to a good buck because most of them you see are 2 to 500 yards away and as soon as you stop you would be lucky to get a shot because the deer is gone like a bat out of hell,, unless you are sitting in a stand or a blind but while i was there the weather was -29 to -37 the whole time so i dont know about you but sitting in a blind or stand when it is that cold out umm aint gonna happen so you just drive around or do a quick bush push through some bushes and get back to the truck heater other than that there is no way it is gonna happen,, i would love to see most guys who say they wouldnt shoot 3 to 400 yards off hand in sask when that big buck of a life time is standing there 300 to 400 yards away,, and tell me you passed him up because you werent comfortable with the shot when that is the only shot you are gonna get chances are you are gonna take the shot!!!!!!!!!!

not to hijack your thread, but you said it

;) Hey Chevy , You posted that sitting in a treestand at minus 26-36 C is not going to happen , Well I just finished hunting WT in the Christen Valley area and it was down to minus 26 C . I am almost 70 years old , have a bad heart , on blood thinners and still managed 5 hrs each day in a treestand , can`t be that tough on a young buck ....

He's apparently a great off hand rifle shot. Just look at his stats!

400 yrd shot off hand on a running whitey buck - dropped him

250 yrd shot off hand on a trotting muley buck - nailed him and dropped him in his tracks

150 yrd shot off hand on a Koot whitey buck - dropped him in his tracks

Pretty sure he made a great one on his 2006 muley too!

Appears to me the dude is a crackshot off hand shooter ;)

Here's what he had to say though, about a 200 yard running shot in another post :)

Before you all accuse me of doing it... No i would not do it at all I am a pretty good shot not bragging but im quite sure i would rather let it go and keep hunting the rest of the day rather than look for a deer that a stupid shot was taken at!!!!!!!!!

To each his own -

Give the guy credit - he's obviously a great hunter .... hell look at what he did one time with a whitey buck he shot:

Re: Whats the farthest you have ever had to pack out your game?
i once had to drag a big whitetail 29 kms out of a road closure i walked into and would i do it again hell yeah it was totally worth it

btw - congrats on a great season and the dandy bucks you took !! Not many can say they've done what you accomplished.

It's a different hunting world out there. Open country and running and gunning go hand in hand. Not my favorite way of hunting but it's a fact of life out there.
Unless you're shooting them off of a baitpile, they're usually moving.
If you haven't been there, it's hard to comprehend.

How many of you guys push bush here in BC?? Out there it's the norm.

Congrats on another beauty buck Chevy!

Hey Greybark, did you guys have the annual bow hunt again? Where are the pics and stories from Christian Bow Camp? ;)

chevy
12-14-2007, 05:50 PM
Everybody has their own way of hunting and this is my way love it or leave it alone and thanks to all the guys who congratulated me instead of bit#*ing about shooting at a distance like that.. and to be honest i dont care who you are or what you do but myself i aint gonna sit in a tree stand in saskatchewan at -26 and while the wind is blowing 80 miles an hour i dont know about you but,,, me it isn't gonna happen at all

:razz: Hey Chevy . No one is criticizeing your way of hunting , the majority of hunters hunt that way . I thourghly enjoyed my years of hunting with a rifle and even preached about it the way I now do about bowhuntung LOL.
As posted I appreciate your hunting enthusiasum as some of us oldsters relive hunts thru your stories .
PS - Have you ever had a huge WT buck so close you swear it can hear your heart beat , that is what treestanding is about ? Your way , my way all good !!!!

Brambles
12-14-2007, 10:13 PM
Hey Chevy you got to realize some of these guys are bow hunters, and not only bow hunters but traditional bow hunters. They can't comprehend a shot at 50 yards, don't expect them to comprehend a 400 yard shot.
And if a deer is moving at a snails pace they won't shoot because they will probably miss.

I shoot archery too and hunt with a compound bow to expand my season, but I won't hunt with traditional gear, I don't think its ethical, at 3D shoots I see a lot of traditional guys shoot and honestly they are happy to even hit the target let alone make perfect kill shots, and here they feel fine shooting at a live deer when they can't hit a foam deer at pissing distance, go figure....

greybark
12-14-2007, 10:35 PM
:confused: Hey Brambles , There is a limit to a hunters rifle ability , a limit to a bowhunters compound bow distance and a limit to a traditional bowhunter distance . Each of us is responsible for recognizeing our own limit . You have no idea what my limits are and thus don`t know what you are talking (slagging) about . For example only a small precentage of those archers on a 3-d course may bowhunt and some targets may be set beyond there limits . The point i am trying to make is that each of us (ALL user groups are lethal within their personnel limits . Again you don`t have any idea what each of those archers own limit is and if do they bowhunt , also the 3-d shoots are an excellant teachng aid and those archers may be at a starting position that all of us had to work through .
Frankly you posted by hi-jacking Chevy` thread to push your personnel agenda which is so negative it helps no one .

I aint hi-jackin nothing, I have no agenda, but it seems to me that it is always the same guys harping on others for the decisions that they made in the field. Chevy could have lied and cooked up a perfect shot bang flop story, but he didn't and everyone is hassling him over it. If you can't say "good job" or "nice deer" because your too high and mighty then don't say anything at all, nothing says you have to post a reply.

And Greybark, don't take it personally all these comments aren't aimed at you specifically.

Thanks guys and i was in the central west part of sask it was a good time and definately going back next year,, and hopefully get one to shoot a little closer next year if not oh well i will shoot him anyways,, because if i had to make that shot again i would for sure do it once again thanks for the good jobs!!!!!!!!

12-15-2007, 02:20 PM
Nice buck.


Hunting's about learning - doubt the intent was to hit it where you did and you'll probably think twice about that shot the next time.

Everyone who hunts has made mistakes - whether they'll fess up or simply point at the way everyone else screws up is another matter.


Good thing you aren't a x bow hunter, you probably would have been drawn and quartered. :roll:

Holy crap guys, I looked at this thread when Chevy first posted his pics, after that I didn't read any new posts. Untill today, all I can "egaly say is "HOLY CRAP" c'mon guys, how the hell can you judge a guy without ever being there.

I am sure that alot of people have taken shots that when they look back at it maybe they shouldn't have. I am not saying that this is how Chevy is feeling, but I know myself, the buck I took this year, the shot I took maybe I shouldn't have. I killed him, but looking back and under the circumstances I shouldn't have shot, but it all worked out.

I get sick and tired of people judging people without ever walking in their shoes. Like my Papa always says, if ya can't say something nice then shut yer F*&^%$ !mouth!!

Alright, I think I feel better now, not sure if I really got my point across, but people judging others really picks my ass!

I've avoided this post, cause no one will care what I say. But first that is a great buck. Most of Whities are once you cross the rocks.


Would I have taken the shot? No. Is it ethical to shoot this far offhand? My jury is out on this one. I've seen guys with BPCR rifles like sharps or 1885's hit 300 and 500 meter silouhettes with boring regularity while messin around, and I have hunted with guys who whip up and shoot at any buck they can see like they're Roy Rogers or something, usually missing, wounding, or not knowing what happened.

Hell I've F$#^ed shots at 80yrds, so even though I shoot around 100rnds through my hunting rifle in the offseason, and many more rounds in other similar guns, I know how I react around game animals so prefer to get close to undisturbed animals.


Maybe Chevy is no different in front of a trophy buck than he is in front of the six o'clock news I dunno. So again nice buck at least its on the ground.

Most of B.C. and Alberta migrate to Saskatchewan for the non-resident season, and have been for years. It can handle it, those deer have adapted to the hunting pressure by running like a scalded dog whenever they see anything remotely human..

There's usually 6-10 of us out chasing deer in the same spots every year without any problems. Cougar = a deer/week, cars several per day, hunters one or two annually.

That is a great point and I hear what your saying, but I dont think think cougers and buicks are focusing on prime breading bucks.
Why is it when ever I bring up my concern for over hunting an area that I never here stuff like " I never thought of that, or good point or you mean there isnt an unlimited number of deer per area":???::???:

You'd be surprised that cougars in fact take out mature bucks, and big ones quite often.

thats a classic Sask buck.. hats off to you. 2007 was a great year for seeing bucks, i thought the hard winter of 2006 would have blasted those bucks away. Your shooting is actually the norm for Prairie shooting bucks. Pushing bush and walking or driving around small bluffs produce a ton of huge bucks, these bucks run and shots taken as quick as you can .Don't let "whats his name" put a damper on your buck. drop me a line next year,i'll pour you some prairie pride in a glass. lol duke. i'd love to add some Sask buck pics and stories to this thread.. holy crap would it sturr up a shyte storm. lol... 3 foot lead 3 foot lead shoooooooooot.. cor.

LOL good post dukester, i will drop ya a line next year for sure pm me let me know where you are and i wil lright it down, and your right, lots of guys ''critisize'' the way people shoot, but in all honesty, some havent hunted the prairies and it is totally different, it isnt like here where you can spot and stock the animal, there you are limited, it is either shoot or go home empty handed with a $150.00 deer tag in your pocket, and i mean if some of you guys who do critisize about shooting at distances, actually go to saskatchewan and see for your self then, let's keep the comments on the down low, once again thanks guys and dukester pm me

It is not about shooting long distances, it is about knowing where your bullet will land at those distances.

go to sask and try for your self, or wait dont go to sask they dont need people like you there, even still man, do you know what it is like shooting in the prairies? nope didnt think so, and i have shot enough to know where my bullet is gonna hit, most of the animals i have shot have been 300 yrds or more, so i will shoot what i wanna shoot and i will shoot at a distance i wanna shoot, and if i do, well what are you gonna do about it seriously?
and your telling me that when and if you shoot at a distance like that you are gonna know exactly where your bullet is gonna hit, when out there the wind is blowing 80mph, you havent got a clue where your bullet is gonna hit, and i doubt anybody would!!!! its just a chance that i am willing to take trying to judge the wind factor and distance,!

may I remind you that it was not me that shot the bear. if it was me shooting, you might have something, but you dont. I told an honest tale, I have not, and will not deny the facts that happened on that hunt. No coverups, no going back on what I said, no smoke and mirrors.

nice try to turn the attention off you and your piss poor ethics though! :wink:

Hey Bartell,
Do you have a hard time rembering what you say.Here is a quote of yours from 10-29-07
Ive never seen what I would class as a "monster", but I can see how a guy could come unglued and do stuff he wouldn't normally think of doing under usual circumstances.

I have been out to Sask . I was lucky to have brought home a 157" white tail, not the largest deer we saw but hell it was my best . I have seen deer killed on the dead run . Lucky most likely ! but it was done .Do I have the right to tell anyone that it should not have been done ? NO
I know from my time out there I WILL PULL THE TRIGGER ON BROWN IF IT IS BIG ENOUGH. And you just know if it is a shooter buck! I don't know a hunter that is not hunting horn when they go to AB or SASK ! Grow up people .BITCHING LIKE THIS WILL IN TIME HAVE US ALL PLAYING VIDEO GAMES ,BECAUSE WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HUNT ANYMORE .Congrats on a great buck good luck next year Chevy

yes, I said that, and I stand by my comment. If a 200+ inch whitetail was in front of me, who knows what would happen. but a medium size 150 buck? from the looks of things, that is barely an average buck in Sask! :)

there you are limited, it is either shoot or go home empty handed with a $150.00 deer tag in your pocket

Personally, I'd rather go home and BS the boys about the nice buck that I didn't shoot at because it was too far and running like the wind, than go home and lay awake at night and wonder how that poor animal is that I blew the hind leg off of. For $150, I'd rather see no wounded animal than worry about the money.

But hey, that's just me. I've always considered my tag cost as part of the cost to go on the hunt, like gas and food, rather than consider it wasted money if it isn't punched. 8)

You not worry about the cash?? I hear you shoot some military Huskavarna rifle that was left over on the beaches of Normandy back in 1943 and use an old 1980 Kmart special fiberglass fly rod for chirnonmid fishing.Your quads got more miles on it than a 1972 Kenworth and your Kodiac boots have more holes in them than a swiss cheese.:D

I've gone to Sask and came home with an empty tag. Not a big deal. I'd do it again if the right shot didn't come along. Would I take an off hand shot at that distance? No. I don't shoot offhand ever if I can avoid it, I prefer to take some kind of a rest. Would I take one at that distance and further shooting prone in the right circumstances? you bet!

have you ever shot a "medium sized buck'' i dont see any in our gallery, in all honesty i would like to know how many guys here, have never shot anything or at anything, at 400 yards, because no matter what i know probably 95% of guys who have been hunting long enough and are on here, have definately taken the shot. whether they have hit the animal or they have missed the animal, you cant tell me most of you have never shot that distance, almost everybody i know, has and living in the elk valley, east kootenay area i know alot of hunters!!!!!!!!!
and for the record he is 160 not just a medium 150 class buck!!!!!!!!!!!
