Spent the week hunting deer/elk in SW Alberta. Tough hunting this year, but great scenery, fresh air, exercise and no work.
 

On the bucket list to get up there at some point. Good luck on future outings!

Good hunting @Dlowil! Getting out there and doing it right! I spent the weekend doing it the easy way, dumping corn and apples at my deer stands and checking trail cam pics. There's a nice 10 point buck sniffing around my feeder, so I'm setting a buddy on him this week. I like tender young meat deer, my buddy likes big antlers, we both get what we want. I've always wanted to get an elk cow or moose cow tag, but it's hard to justify the expense in time and travel for me when deer tags are generous and my deer stands are a half hour drive. 30 day dry aged young doe prime is hard to beat! I'll go for that every time as my favorite trophy.

There’s no wrong way to enjoy the outdoors. I favor whitetail over a mule deer any day of the week. That deer rack looks delicious! Yes, elk and moose tags are pricey. The overall experience of a western hunt with those you love is far worth it in my opinion! Good luck on dropping the 10 point. Would love a photo once he gets him!

I get big fellows running around on the regular during the rut, though they don't always stay. This pair showed up late season awhile back when my horn hunting buddies were all tagged out. I arrowed the doe first, that's good eats. Bows don't make much noise so it barely startled the buck. He circled right back and kept hanging out broadside to me. Finally decided he was at least good for plenty of grind meat for feeding folks in need for the holidays and took him too. At the end of the day, my arthritic knees and aching back definitely wished I had quit with the doe.

I hadn't seen that previously in the rules. Seems a bit odd to have a fishing forum but not allow hunting, so I wasn't aware.

Amateur taxidermy pics ok?
