Nothing canned about the CFB Wainwright hunt- Deer, moose, or elk. If you have experienced it, you would understand.
I was there this year for the PW hunt and have hunted it 4-5 times previously. There is nothing canned about about that hunt, and if people are so inclined, it’s not hard to hunt without being “bothered” by others. Or, you can use the others in the area to your advantage and put yourself in a good position to have animals come to you (pushed or not). I spent most of the hunt in a ground blind. I didn’t see another hunter while in the blind.
I saw 5 solid shooter MD bucks this hunt with very few moose or elk compared to last years, BUT I wasn’t hunting hunting them. I should have had two great bucks this hunt, but luck wasn’t on my side. I have no one to blame but myself.
That hunt is a great bonus hunt in cool country, at the end of a long season. It is extraordinarily well run and we are lucky to have access to it. I will say that in the briefings, there appeared to be more people than I’ve seen in any previous hunts. That said, after the shotgun start and cannonball run, the vehicles and people dissipate fast and there is lots of country to hunt on your own.

Lol, I sure ruffled feathers with my canned hunt comment, I guess I chose the wrong term there! I was thinking of more like a private ranch hunt and should have used that, I really didn’t think so many people would pay so much attention to my opinion.
Regardless of the term I use, it’s still not going to be on my list of things to do.
