Regarding your second last inquiry on your thread, Like you I landed In McMurray as green as the grass as far as layout and stuff like that. Started walking power lines & cut lines for miles with an old 303 that had peep sights, and, could shoot around corners... lol. Hitting the mark had to be close. First thing I noticed is that compared to where imported
from, there was more wildlife than you could shake a stick at. A Hunters Paradise for Blacks & Wolves. Twice I Got completely terrified up
there. First day wolf hunting on year 8 or 9 in the blind, Imagine this if you so wich, It's the dead of winter... Wolf Howles a few yards away at the break of
day right behind the blind where I seeing is impossible. He let'er fly, I dropped my gun and started shaking as fast as you can blink an
eye. Ultimate terror ! Pierce right through YA !!! He's dead now Btw... Not that day but his number came up shortly after. Number six. I hung him from his neck to take a picture of him for terrorizing me like that. Patience is a virtue my fellow hunters. I have PTSD now...Hahahahaaaaa! Heck of a reaction for a seasoned hunter I must say. . FYI> We've all heard wolves howl from a mile away but let me just say when he's 2 yards away it'a different story. How he got to there without me hearing him on such a quiet morning I still can not figure it out. Also Never heard him leave. I wasn't worth much after that. Certainly not able to shoot cuz of the shakes. Sounded like he was the size of an elephant. No Joke. Loooonnnnggggg Beeellllloooowwwww! Deep. Very Deep !
Everybody all primed up now ?
Let's see if the boys here on AO can give a brother a hand like has been done to me several times on here. Hopefully you're not the kind that "
shoots everything that moves". I"m gonna risk it. Gut feeling. Sounds Genuine. Great question btw DAKA>. I'm gonna lend you my 3rd best honey hole. No worries it's all good my friend. One day we will
meet no doubt. Possibly team up and lay out a few together eh! Bears or wolves whatever. Predation is predation... Right... There is a bear close to town that I underestimated and can't seem to forget about and I'd love to see that big boy drop like a ton of Bricks, He's still alive too. You'll need a quad, 200' of rope, a winch and a toboggan to pull him threw the swamp 100-125 yds. Can't get across the swamp unless it's froze up. Nasty extraction. He's very Lucky that bear I underestimated him. Careful
with that big boy too. He loves destroying Cams. Uses the solar power cords for dental floss. Cost me a fortune... JK. Love the Mac For Hunting And racking in the dough. No other place like it if your a grunt...
lol. Pm me for the exact coordinates to the platform. Custom trail leading
to it. In the winter time it's like Mars out there... Desolate, Dark And
F"n Cold.... Pardon my Tabarnac... lol. There's just you, a trapper out
there somewhere and last but not least our buddies the wolves. All
the best hope it helps. Everyone on this forum played a part with the
pony express. My deal went through Cat. Another pat on the back Cat, once again thank you. What a nice evening that was meeting him. If your reading this Cat here's a tip of the hat....
That flippen stink bait Gassed me hard. Buddy's still waking up in the
middle of the night laughing... lol Love this forum !... Pics are to
show some of the wildlife up here. I got so much of it it's crazy. This
post could go on forever. If you don't succeed and you
put your shoulder into it a little Ill hop you over to the 360☼ Lookout.
Theres pics in there. You'll know it when you see it. + It's in town so you don't have to risk your life
on the Hwy getting to your spot. Bears off that platform is Fall only.
Wolves off that platform are from Jan 3 ( 2nd is a relax day... lol ) into
March 14th. Timing. It's all it is if you're set up. Someone once said , if
you sit in one spot long enough a wolf is bound to walk by... In Fort
McMurray ? It can happen...Hahahahaaa! I've seen bears right down town. One
year the wardens had to call for back up from LaBich to bean bag, trap or
re-locacte. During the Richardson Fire I think. All the wildlife came south right into town. Was it ever wild. Geez! Some got put down. Shame really! I've seen some ear tags up close. No eating but... Nice Coates! Clean no rubs.
Pm me for the exact coordinates if you're interested, I can't shoot
them for you but would like to see you take that MONSTER BEAR in
that swamp. It's worth a shot cuz right now I can't use it and it's
really bugging me that I let him walk. ... like you can't imagine. ! I'm just lending you the platform right... right... lol. Saved yourself about 4 years of scouting. ish... Good luck man if you do
decide to go. That 360 lookout is a Million dollar spot but the one
with the platform is definitely on it's heels. All the same wolves but
completely different vantage point. AMAZING !
Love to help in anyway I can if it's up my alley....
Here's a Picture of the Platform...
Cheers Fellas,
Bye For Now
