Muley down...!
Well after more than a few Saturdays of scouting, glassing, and climbing big hills, I got the job done. This buck was taken in one of the mountain units not too far from yyc.
There was about 10 minutes of legal light left when this guy's nose hit the ground.
I was about 4 km's from the truck, the guys I usually hunt with were busy hauling a moose out of another wmu.
So long story short, I went in light and came out heavy!
At about 1 am I rolled into the garage. tired, thirsty, hungry, but really satisfied with the hunt.
Once the season is over I'm sure we'll do a podcast episode on some highlights of our hunts. Mike got his elk this year too. And there's a few weeks left.....
Cheers.

Congrats! Sounds like a lot of hard work, but I think in the end none of us complain about that.

Nice buck! A hard earned animal you will remember forever - well done. I hope to have the same luck this weekend.

Good buck, I’m sure the mass on those dark antlers against the white snow made it a no-brainer.

Yeah, that made the decision for me. That and he came charging out of the trees chasing a three point!

Good job!
You've definitely earned it. I ended up shooting a nice 49 inch bull moose a few weeks back. I was off work and all my buddies were working. I ended up gutting, skinning, quartering and packing it out myself. Good thing I could drive my truck to a reasonable distance of it.
