Awesome BRL, good for you. Maybe this year I can focus on my moose with bow adeventure.

I take it your dad is an official scorer, if so is he also in Edmonton?

I have a 2 whitetail, and 2 caribou that I would like scored.

Thanks

He is an official measurer. Unfortunately, he's back in Thunder Bay.

You should be able to find a measurer here:

Nice, I just got my paperwork from my 08 bull back from P&Y, scored 152 even. Can't wait for September to roll around.

Brown Bear,

Did you ever get that big bull scored from last fall?

That's fantastic news BRL. It's been hard earned for sure. Love the pic of you daughter. Cute as a button. My daughter is almost the spittin' image and same age. Had her out calling 'yotes for the first trip ever about a month ago. Little buggers are tougher than we give 'em credit for!

I shot it in the lungs. Nope, this one was not near Tbay. You can read the story (17 Meter Moose Ambush) in Canadian Bowhunting of the Great Canadian Sportsman online magazine.

I worked in Dryden (Weyerhauser at the time) in the summer of '98 .... had "too much" fun at JPs roadhouse among other things.

I'm down in RD once a month usually - we should chat over a beer/coffee/tea
