With both a Moose & an Elk in the Freezer I didn't have room for either of these, by next year, if they survived the winter, they will be even bigger.

Yup, I am looking forward to the fall already! It's doubtful I will get a Moose draw two years running, so I will likely be limited to Elk & Deer.
Just gotta love the unlimited hunting opportunities. :D

What a couple of beauties. You don't find 'em like that on the rock...wish we had them though. At least you remembered your camera... :oops:

:lol: Ha, silly boy that I am, I pack my backpack of hunting possibles, my binoculars, my cammera, whichever rifle I am in the mood for (varies from 7 1/2# to 10 1/2#, depending on model & caliber), plus survival gear, lunch & water. :lol: Sometimes It reminds me of the gnarly training when I was in the infantry 30 years ago, but if I leave anything in the Jeep I am sure to need it & will be 5 miles away from it. :cry:

HEY!!! :idea: I was in the infantry thirty years ago too! Do you miss those romantic moonlit nights out wandering around in the swamps, or the thrill of discovering that your gas mask cannister doesn't work any more just after you get hit by a gas attack? How about the joy of carrying the extra few mortar rounds or the GPMG tripod along with the rest of the shit on your back? Or maybe you miss puking through your nose when they touch off the 106 recoilless beside your head back in those days when we were not ALLOWED to wear hearing protection?

Ah, those were the days..............

Yo Doug; Those were the days! :lol: Yup, our "theme song was Freddie F's Wasted Days, Wasted Nights" :lol: Oh to be young & foolish again! I am sure those were the best times of my life. After doing Cornwallis I trained at several bases in Ontario, including Kingston and Bordon, finally landed up in Calgary with #1 PPCLI, which unit did you serve in, RCR's?

We Lead!

I wore an RCR cap badge for five years, but that was as an army cadet. I started out in the regular force as an infantry officer trainee, lost most of my hearing in both ears from shooting (and standing beside 106s etc etc!), and was remustered out of the infantry.

I think our theme song was "I don't want to join the Army" :roll:

8O When you are in Grovedale you are on the edge of my favorite hunting country. Were you hunting or working in this area?

Both of these Deer were north of the Wapiti River... :oops:

Very nice WT Savage. Here is a potentially dumb question, but do Mulies & WT's respond to the same grunt/call or is there a call specific to each species. Reason I ask is that I am possibly going where there are both species next weekend.

SAVAGE

Good question, I would have to say yes, based on my experience, but perhaps others with more Deer hunting expertise have more to add. I generally consider Deer to be a sideline, as my main concentration is on Moose and Elk.

We got alot of use out of our grunt tubes on our trip up north. they worked well for stopping deer that were a bit skittish and were starting to move off. they also worked well for getting the odd buck to step out of the bush and into the open. we were in an area that had a pretty even split between mulies and whitetails and the same grunt tubes seemed to work on both species. good luck on your hunt!
