Last season I asked for some recommendations on somewhere I could take my son deer hunting on the mainland. I'm a relatively inexpercienced hunter myself, didn't grow up in a hunting family, just decided in my late 30's it's something I wanted to do. So as of last year I had never hunted off the Island and my son who was then 10yrs old had just completed his CORE and we were basically just look for recommendations as a starting point to begin some new area hunting as father and son. I receveied a bunch of great help from other members, including an offer from a member( Tomahawk) to join him and his grandson on their mule deer trip...we graciously accepted that offer and not only that, my son was able to harvest his first deer on that trip ! I posted the whole story here on Hbc, but can't figure how to attach a link. Anyway this year we've decided to try to find some whitetail, (believe it or not I've never actually seen a whitetail except possibly once in Alberta before I new the diffrence between species) and after much deliberations have rented a cabin at Jewel Lake for the 2nd week of October. I've never been there before, know nothing really about the area other than it suppossedly is good whitetail country. We don't really have much expectations for the trip other than hopefully learning something about the area and maybe seeing some deer, fully expect it to be more of scouting trip than a hunting trip but who knows our hopes are still high. It will just be me and my son again, we don't have a big group we hunt with or anything like that...so any help would be very much appreciated and definataly kept to ourselves. I won't cliche by saying "I'm not looking for honey holes"...lol, but seriously any points in the right direction from any guys or gals who know the area would be be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Brent
