Who's planning on an immy hunt this year?

Hey F/D! If you whack an immie and need a packer or freezer space, gimme a call. We can work something out.

Went out today and all we could seem to find was big bulls x 3 :cry:. Not exactly sure why they reduced the number of LEH draws in 8-09. Pretty rediculous imo. I see more bulls in this region every year.

You mean that goalie that's 3 - 0 this year? No, not him, but he's pretty damned spectacular for only $2.25 million a year eh? :lol:

I was out from sunrise to sunset in search of a immy, I got to my spot 30 min before light and parked and waited for it to get light, I parked on the side of a little road hoping that people would see my truck and realize that I was walking this old "skidder trail" and they would not proceed further. I had a mini turnaround behind my truck when i returned 4 hours later lol looked like atleast 10 people had tried to come in that road. Then I drove a few roads around noon and saw about 20 guys road hunting and i talked to many of them and they had not seen a thing. So i went to another old road and hiked it for the rest of the day, seen a few doe's and thats it! but I did find some fresh moose sign so maybe just maybe i can get lucky.

I saw Jimmy the Immy 1st week of Oct, it was the 1st small bull I've seen. Unfortunately can't be there right now to pay him another visit :( It will have to wait for now.

I did see a yearling right at daybreak today, but alas, it was a cow. A few does, lots of trucks, and roasted grouse wrapped in bacon for supper! :D

Today I was lucky enough to call in my first ever bull! I have had one other one reply to me last yr and I brought him right in close but he wouldnt step into the open! So early this am I set up on a treeline facing towards the large meadow, and I let out a few soft cow calls. No replys, so after 20 min i let out as loud of a call as I could and I listened to it bounce back to me off the far tree line, I thought to myself now if a moose doesnt hear that then nothing is around. 1 minute late I hear a bull grunting off in the distance and then began to hear him come crashing through the bush! he was quite vocal so I just kept quit and waited for him to appear, there was slight pause for a few minutes when he was about to come out of the tree line, so faced away from him and let out a moany cow call and that was enough for him and he came right out and came within 60 yards of me, this is when i stood up and he looked at me and paused for a few seconds then ran back to where he came from. He was far from the immature I was hoping he would be but non the less it was an amazing experience and it gives me more confidence when calling now! I wish I had my camera with me but as always it was sitting in my truck :(
