    Very little snow here. Are you around Anarchist or Baldy? I haven’t gone that way in a couple of weeks, but there is basically nothing to speak of here around Grand Forks up to 6,000’ or so.
    If we’re not supposed to eat animals, how come they’re made out of meat?

    Been out almost everyday last week Region 3-18/3-19. Not much visible movement from any decent bucks. Just a couple bucks ie. 2-3 pointers wandering around. All the doe groups I've seen had no bucks. Bumped into more hunters than i did bucks.

    Pulling into the lease I’m working at today, 1 big 3pt buck with 17 does herded up. Safe to say the ruts about to kick off for mule deer. Whitetails starting to move more are my observations.

    I tried some rattling in 3-19. Figured it was early but wasn't seeing anything so what the heck. Nada.

    This is my first time rattling though so there is that.

    Man, robust game populations over there in Alberta huh?

    My spot is north of Baldy at 1400m or just over 4500ft

    Is the whitetail rut looking to be early as well or right on time?

    My kid shot a nice buck on Saturday. It was hot on a doe and distracted

    Rear leg glands weren't too stinky on the buck, just a little wiff of smell.
