Booner Blacktail in Maple Ridge

[TheObserver]

This shed my Old Man found on my grandpa's property literally right up the street from that Buck, my Grandpa is passed away now and we sold the property. But there were always Deer and Bear there and a lot of Salmon spawned up his creek too. Funny my old man goes hunting in 3-30 for big Rut Mulies back in the day got skunked on that trip only to come home and unpack his gear when he took over my Grandpa's house for a while after he passed, to see a huuuge 4 point blacktail staring at him in the yard hahah ironic.

Hahaha if only my Truck would stay like that after my Scouting/Hunting excursions hey!

Wow, a beauty indeed....lol are there any areas of crown near there where he might be bedding where you can pursue him with a bow??

I think the closest crown land might be Golden Ears which is a few km as the crow flies and I've never looked to see if hunting is allowed there. Where these two were, was in the middle of where the Alouette river is split in two, and I think they must use the river as a travel corridor.

It's amazing that there's still that number of deer in that area as they've leveled much of the Silver Valley with row homes. That used to be prime habitat.

If only MR had a bylaw like Williams Lake (and I think PG) where it's legal to harvest an animal with a bow within city limits during hunting season eh? Wonder if Clearwater has a similar bylaw?
