That sucks Steven. Can't fault you for not putting in a good effort though.
Two guys from work were there and saw sweet f all also. Sounds like a real mess.

Been waiting for you're return & reply my Friend.
Wasn't so much of a "hunt" as it was Lunacy!
Even so, I wish things had gone better for you.
I'll run up the story of what we saw, what we didn't, and some thoughts on the overall scenario tomorrow.
Bottom line I can already call: Don't come looking again...
I certainly won't be...
Cheers,
Nog

That's too bad. At least you gave it 100%. It was decent of you to keep us all up to date as your posts were interesting and anticipated.

Ya 15,000 views and not one elk...however we did our best..we were where we should have been..met hunters accompanied by 25 year veterans of Suffield..so the plan was sound. .just no elk on the base
And we all know Matt is a better hunter..hence his success.
Not organized
Too much closed area
Too many Swedish army
Being the last bull hunt. .they were gone
No willingness by base to open areas that held elk..no conflict
95 % of elk shot were in Nov.hunt.
30% of our hunt gave up after day 1..
Thamk you to Fred, Mike, Roy, Phil, Nathan.Matt for intel and encouragement.
Thank you to my Sherpa Susan for her 20 hour days organizing, helping, encouraging, and learning to pee behind the truck..constantly interrupted..lol
Thank you Tim for your loan of long range rifle and custom handloads .
Thank you Roxanne. .opening your home and loan of your husband and son for the hunt.
From Hinton Alberta..home tommorrow

Sounds like most of the Peace country this year,hunters, gas workers, site C , it's a shit show there too!!!!
"A good day hunting is mud on your truck or blood on your hands"
“Some people go to church and think about hunting……………others go hunting and think about God!”
It's actually called the 375 "ouch and ouch"!!
"Not asking for any spots or anything like that............................................"
That too bad Steven. Time to go slay some wolves!
Hmm yes starts Monday...head out Sunday..had to write a test yesterday to renew my BC assistant guides license...did well and passed..time to see if some wolves can take a dirt nap..and save some moose.
Cheers

Well you guys have convinced me not to apply.
Hmmm great idea..not worth the time or effort or aggrevation..let alone 10 years priority, and several thousand $$$
Indians are selling elk in medicine hat..or big racks if you want one. .or 5..or 10..
Pretty pathetic organization..
Glad the indians from sask, alberta, manitoba helped the ranchers ..wish I could have been given the opportunity..or they could have spared 1 soldiar for the lone zone that held elk...no dice..11 soldiars for 11 hour days to check 1 elk..seriously !
