2021 Whitetail last day buck

[Harvest the Land]

I haven't put much time, and the area has low density of deer. Looking at the biologist's harvest stats for the last decade, reveals some sobering stats

Average hunters per year : 576
Average Days hunted : 4876 (8.5 days effort per hunter)
Average kills : 61 (65% of that is buck harvest)

That's 80 days effort per deer harvest (including antlerless), or a success ratio of 10%

Gotcha - well that makes your harvest even more impressive. Thought whitetail numbers were expanding in most of the province, but with those grim statistics apparently they haven't invaded Vanderhoof yet.

Congrats on one hell of a buck

Congrats and nice rifle. I just sold one of those earlier this year still kicking myself.

I waited 9 years for that rifle to come in! From when I first handled a preproduction model at a trade show in Reno NV in 2009, to when it arrived in November 2018. Yesterday was the first time I'd ever taken it hunting! Sure nice to carry in the hand, if my rifle was slung on shoulder I might not of had time to get a shot off

Extra points for the Mennonite machine gun

I like that! Especially being a Mennonite, and owning multiple “machine guns”! I knew there was a reason I was a levergun addict!

I used my Marlin to pop a spike blacktail with only two days left in the season...

That’s a beauty buck Todd, and a beauty gun too. I can’t stand carrying a bolt action much anymore, and my Marlin gets 90% duty. I have a .44 Mag Henry carbine that I am considering a scope for. How do you like the scout set up? I’m happy to see you take one with .44 as I’m always worried I will see something at 100+ yards and wish I had more velocity.

That's cool to get one with a .44 mag! I don't know about that beer though??
