So now fishing is over whos going hunting??

[Little Hawk]

Howdy,

Buddy and I did our fourth consecutive trip in late Sep early Oct. Spent a week just north of Princeton then finished up with our usual last week in the East Kootenays. Princeton was so hot the bugs drove us nuts.

Had the strangest BUG experience of any trip ever. Early one day I noticed these tick-like bugs (about 3/4-inch) congregating or hatching on the rocks around the fire. I counted nearly two-dozen or so of the little buggers then, much to my chagrin, I noticed I had two or three on me. They seemed to be trying to get at my skin. I semi-freaked and swatted them off only to have more of em' attack me. There I was, running around camp with these little peckers chasing me. This went on for the duration of that day every time I (and only me) went near the fire. Strange.

We spent and inordinate amount of time on the bikes...

as the bush was tinder dry and noisy as hell. On three or more days we put on over 100/kms... and still shot nothing. The two guy's we met up there shot a spike and a 4-point.

In the E.K. just south of Fairmont we fared no better. The elk were silent (which was unusual) and not one whitey with bones on its head showed itself. The "meat" end of it was disappointing but it's hard not to enjoy oneself in a place like this...

Counting the days till next year!
Hope you whack a nice whitey Wolf!

Cheers,
Terry

Just got back from Creston. Filled my Cow Elk tag on the first day. Had a great time. Stayed at a ranch, shot the Elk a block and a half away from the house and retrevied it with the tractor. Met a great bunch of proud red necks and for the first time ever, the liqour bill exceeded the gas bill! The East Kootneys are unbelievable. Saw Bull Moose, Bull and Cow Elk, Mule Deer, Whitetails, Big Horn Sheep, and unbelievable views.

Congrats on the elk Buddy! Cool!
No Worries on the cape thing. Still have quite a bit of season left, so we have the luxury of a little time...
One of the Ladz spotted one of our local Monsters last night, making the mistake of wandering out</u> of the No Fire Zone. He didn't capitalize then, so another foray is called for. If I didn't have a few on hand to cut for the Boyz, I'd be on that windy old ridge tonight. But duty calls, so the buck gets a break until tomorrow it seems...

Not often I smile when reading the words "Storm Warning", but gotta admit, with that particular sighting, I did... very much so!

Straight Shooting Folks!

Hey Nog

I have a cape of my Sept 3 pt, if you are interested. I had a friend take it down Island as he was going to use it, but he not, so if this one works, let me know.

You do hunt fish and that is really not a lot different, other than you can catch and release..

Same mind set is needed, you have to match witts with the prey and the result is food on the table, so in much the same way, you hunt, just for a different species.

Thanks

Hey guys, check out the following site.... http://www.swivelmachine.com I have a couple of these units that shoot arrows and they are just awesome! Can anyone tell me if they would be legal in BC to hunt Blacktail? SS

Was up in Cold Lake Alta. Had 3 moose under my stand for over a hour. We all know the answer to why I did not shoot one...no tag. Anyway did manage a big 5 X 4 that was close to 300lbs.

 

[wolf]

Have to agree with you Wolf. As soon as the snow started to fall I was all smiles. When the moose where making their way through the woods I thought to myself "this is the biggest buck in the world coming my way" Anyway good luck on your hunt. Try not to spend too much at WS. I am like a kid in the candy store there. Happy hunting.

 

[wolf]

Yes we got it last friday night we saw a nice 6x6 in the morning with a few cows we did a sneak on him and he just walked into the forest so we came back in the evening to look for him nothing was on the side hill so like you he decided on a meat bull and got a nice 4x3 that was with 2 other bulls he was the only one that turned broadside for us ill load a pic soon.

[Barbender]

Nicely done. Looking forward to seeing the pics.

 

[Eric]

Nice deer Trev. I saw the pics!

 

[Barbender]

Forgot to compliment you on your elk Wolf. That animal would be prime eating. I am jealous because as far as I am concerned a 2-3 year old elk is the best tasting wild game there is. The only thing that comes close I think is a calf moose.

 

[wolf]

Just got back from sask got got our deer my buddy and I got a nice one together and hes going to get it mounted nice 5x5 with longs tines Ill post pics soon with more of a story .
