Staying Positive
Well, wmu 208 is killing me. Every buck in archery season moved to Manitoba. Tough sledding out there. Couple of cool bucks to date but overall no shooters. I go out, hunt a full day hard then quit, say to heck with it. Then sit on couch 5 mins and cant wait to get back. Beautiful country and theres still hope.
The highs and lows eh? I am allergic to big bucks anyways. Hahaha. Good luck everyone.

I feel ya, been out around 14 days in the mountains looking for my first buck. Have been doing some overnighters and on Sunday I am ready to head back... that lasts until I drive away and immediately start planning the next trip. Now I am looking at archery so I can get an extra month!

The best part of the month is in front of you. That zone has tremendous deer, they'll move more now. Watch lots, it will happen for you!

November 23.
That's when the whitetails run hard. Based on over 15 years of killing them in that zone.

I was in the same boat as you until I closed my mulie tag yesterday morning. Hadn’t seen any of my target bucks in November that I saw and had pics of during bow season, I was getting a bit frustrated as well. I decided to get to the highest ground in the area for first light and spotted him leaving some does and heading for a patch of bush, intercepted him after a rushed stalk. As said already, the best part of the month is coming. Stick to the areas you know there are good bucks around and hunt the does, the bucks will show up eventually. I ended up seeing one of the other bucks I was pursuing minutes after I shot, he was following a group of does that decided to vacate the area. When it rains it pours.....

I passed on a solid whitetail buck last week because I wanted to keep hunting the rest of the season. The chase is better than the catch. My only suggestion is to keep doing what you are doing and remember it can all change in a second when you see that big boy.

Big one spotted
So a nice buck pic is sent to me via txt by my buddy who I set up on that huge elk last year. Very nice buck.
I get permission. Head out. The guides ask me what I am doing there, flip out to landowner so he kicked everyone off but the quiet guy with a helpful friend.
