... Now for you to end the season with a 397 Suffield elk.

LOL! Why not a 400 incher Buddy!
Thanks for the kind words Steven! I ain't all that good a hunter, but simply have some rather Fine Friends who are!
My Hunting Partner over in Alberta is having one hell of a year! Five Book Mulies in but a couple of weeks, and three Book Elk previous to that! Colorado Eat Your Heart Out!!!

Another boo at The Lady's 190:



Don't get much taller nor clean a four point than that! We actually ran across this same buck while I was hunting. Due to a heavy screen of willows (damn near the only spot we found those) there was simply no way to get a shot on him. So, we filmed him instead. Rather sweet to have the Lady tag the same one we filmed a couple weeks earlier!!

And another Big Boy - this one runs 201 7/8 gross:



Honestly think this is quite likely the Last Refuge of the Biggest Mulies on the planet!
And you can bet your butt I am SOOOO Looking Forward to my return there next season!!

Cheers!

Outstanding bucks Matt! Congrats on an awesome hunt and thanks for taking the time to post.

It would be interesting to see if there's much change between the "green" scores and the official ones.

Great pics of some fine animals Matt. Thanks for taking the time to post them.

Where they all taken with a bow or is there a rifle season?

Nice bucks and congratulations to all involved!!

Be very interested to see the score sheets so others can learn from seeing a field pic and then associate that with an official number. All will learn.
Obvious your field pics don't do these bucks justice.
Look forward to more.

Very unique habitat for MD compared to BC to say the least!!

Side note....and not to derail an awesome thread.
If we are successful in shutting down the current BC guide outfitting model and retooling it... and it's questionable politics ..... Alberta could follow .

Funny how we praise guided hunts If "we" are customers.

Hope only constructive and positive comments follow in support of this great thread ......in recognition of a nice buck killed by a BC hunter.

Still interested to know if there is a rifle season in the area that you were in Matt.

Most the rifle seasons that I've looked at in Southern Alberta all seem to fall in November so just curious if you can get a Muley with a rifle in that area while the ice is off the river of if you have to use a pointy stick.

Very cool looking country, nice looking bucks. Very intriguing..... It must have been utterly amazing before the cwd reduction.
I dont know if you did your buddy any favours with some of the specifics, just saying.
