Well myself and a couple of buddies headed north on the 19 of November to see if we could put a couple of deer in the pot. We ended up in Hudsons Hope and set up the wall tent for the week.

I know that light little stoves are all the rage, but when your tent it 100 lbs a heavy warm stove to go in it doesnt bug me.
As the temp headed down to -29 we slept well with the stove we nicknamed the Devils Breath pumping out the heat. The deer were enjoying the full moon at night so the daylight hours where a little sparse for game. On the third day I say my first decent whitey and touched the trigger on him.

We hunted for 2 more days, all seeing legal bucks, just not anything else we felt ready to put in the truck. On the last afternoon one of the guys felt that a tasty young whitey was to good to resist and he took a fine mess of deer steak down.

We saw alot of nice country, found out that the wall tent is just fine in -30, and brought home some game, life is good enough for me!!
