2 Old Guys and the Privilege of Hunting
« on: October 05, 2014, 04:18:32 PM »


Wow what a beautiful day

started with a Spruce Grouse(got) that flew to the road as we came out of a lease

then down the road a couple miles I saw shape/color so I stopped and looked

bino's don't lie its a doe about 250yds down the road to the side

Out goes old Bill(75) and I passed him my gun(7mmMag) set at 250yd BDC

shot gone ...its a hit but it just barely made it into bush line but disappeared

3 more tails in bush vanished we hadn't seen ..just sit here and wait the hour I said

as we waited out .. Bill looked over to me and states

we sure are lucky to have the Privilege to be able to hunt in Canada

I agreed.. then saw another Wt come out and prance with tail up

Out goes Bill with my gun and shot gone(neck)

I give him a fist bump as he had decked it ..that's 2 ... I said

lets drive over there as I think the other is dead too

2 of his 3 WT tags filled  15yds into bush

2 Old Guys having fun

enjoy

David :)

ps the 3rd n 4th deer looked like this ../roflmao ;;;;

Looks like some tasty venison boys.

And yes we all must respect the fact we can still hunt in this province but remember the fact it is in the Provincial Heritage act that we have the RIGHT not just the privilege but the RIGHT with in the law to hunt and fish. We must insure that we convey this message in our conversations as well.

Sorry for the derail..

Looks like you guys are doing just fine! Some good eats there. We have a hunting camp in the Hinton area and have been very disappointed with the deer numbers this year (last year as well but worse this year again); trail cams are empty and for the first time in 6 years we will not be filling any tags up here. We are relocating to pastures that enjoyed softer winters further south. The chickens though, are amazing. They are everywhere and on the up cycle once again. Makes having the privilege to hunt well worth taking advantage of. Nice to see someone seeing a few deer, be safe out there.
