Re: This Will Be One Year End Hunting Trip Not To Be Forgott

Re: OT: Suffield Alberta - The Praire Elk Experience

I awoke once again quite early this, our final day. Not due to anticipation this time, but rather the aches and pains of both body and mind. The body in that my butt now felt like I had been dropped 30 feet onto it - directly onto concrete, and every joint was now singing it's own little tune of res...

Re: OT: Suffield Alberta - The Praire Elk Experience

Even though quite weary, I awoke well before the alarm clock went off. Heard the rustlings of my BC Partner - probably making coffee I thought - and recognized I was not alone in doing so... Visions of the previous day wandered through my thoughts as I lay there wishing sleep to come back. How in th...

Re: OT: Suffield Alberta - The Praire Elk Experience

Couple of points I missed from the first day... When fueling up at the end of the day, we met a rather nice Fellow who although embarrassed, enlightened us to a near miss that same morning... Somehow he managed to get around to the north of us, and came into the same general area we had decided to l...

Re: OT: Suffield Alberta - The Praire Elk Experience

It seemed to me mere minutes since I had drifted into slumber, and in fact, it likely was when my BC Partner kicked open the bedroom door and roared Coffee is ON!!! Wiping sleep from my eyes, I staggered to the spam, noisily complaining about Truck Butt after the run from BC and a full 700+ kilomete...

Re: OT: Suffield Alberta - The Praire Elk Experience

That same evening, several folks that had been in previous hunts wandered by to have a chat . Some expressed encouragement, some helped define strategies, and some were downright full of discouragement. Nonetheless, we hashed out The Plan for the following morning - one which I felt was sound and wo...

Re: OT: Suffield Alberta - The Praire Elk Experience

The base does not allow any pictures to be taken while there. We stuck to that religiously, but here is one I sniped off the net. Don't know if it is actually on the base or not, but certainly looks extremely similar to the central portion there. Again, a great indication why a hiking style hunt wou...

Re: OT: Suffield Alberta - The Praire Elk Experience

Against this backdrop, and knowing the area and it's elk, the decision was made to enter the draw for Suffield Bull Elk for the 2015 hunts. Being only a Priority 3, I realized the odds were likely long, but with the prospect of hunting the base itself, it was a no-brainer to enter... We did not draw...

OT: Suffield Alberta - The Praire Elk Experience

Been struggling with this one for a spell so it's taken a while to get my mind wrapped around just how this report should proceed... This will not be like most of the hunting reports I have filed, although there will be some of that. Going to be lengthy, and towards the end likely controversial for ...

Re: OT: Packing Again...

LOL! Be damn careful what you ask for Gentz! :wink: Got most of the pictures back thankfully. Now in the process of writing the tale. It won't be one like I usually write. Suffice it to say there is more than a little "controversy" to the bottom line. And that is one of the main reasons i...

Between the Pink and the Luminoks, I rarely lose an arrow these days! :wink:

Re: broad head selection

Only the second time I have not realized a pass through was this year's Mulie. A few reasons - The buck weighed in over 400 pounds - The shot was 62 yards, quartering away - The arrow passed through ribs, the liver, diaphragm, right lung, top of heart, left lung, ribs and then connected with the mai...

Re: OT: Packing Again...

LOL! Having some Serious camera issues over here. Apologies for the delay, but as many of you know the pictures tell a LOT of the tales I write here.

Bear with me, the matter is being worked on...

Soon...
