    Newbie Hunters First Season

    Hello Everybody,

    Fall 2017 was my first season hunting and wanted to thank all of the seasoned hunters (Proguide, Curlytop, Dana, plus many more) on this site for sharing their knowledge and wisdom. I didn't grow up hunting and there are allot of barriers for newbies getting into the sport especially when you live in the Lower Mainland. With how things are going lately I figure we need as many BC residents as possible hunting and this site is an invaluable source of information for those who are interested.


    I was lucky enough to connect on two mule deer. First one was in the high alpine in region 2 second day of the season. Solo backpack hunt, 2 day hike in from the highway. The walk out almost killed me.

    2nd Buck was taken in early November region 8, 5 day backpack hunt into a roadless area. This time I had a buddy to help carry him out.

    Needles to say I'm hooked and can't wait to get out for bear in the Spring.

    Thanks again to all those who have been so free with their knowledge.

    Congratulations! Great Work!
    Both nice Bucks!
    And yet another good testimony as to just how this place is supposed to work.
    Excellent!

    From the glimpse of the grey, I'd suppose you ain't 25 either!
    Liked how you brought a buddy the second go.

    Welcome to The Obsession!

    Cheers,

    Very nice deer and great memories for you for sure.
    Nothing is like climbing a mountain, and then feeling like you are at the top of the world.
