My fellow BC hunters! Check this out!!!!

I just hope with the winter there having the deer numbers don't crash.

Just got back and the deer & elk are in really good shape. I got my elk and a mulie doe. The elk was FAT! The gluttens are destroying the haybails everywhere they can. Driving back it was nothing to see deer sleeping or eating in hay. The elk only come out at night and have be hunted at first light. Believe me, any humans sighted or smelled and they are gone! I took my elk this morning at around 200 yards.
The deer were an oddity. Yesterday when I got my doe they they fled when we came around the corner. Down a draw through a field into the trees by a creek bottom, around 250 yards, faster then we could get out of the jeep, run to the fence line and get set up around 50 yards. When I shot mine she fell the remaining 8 feet to the creek! Then this morning, I shot my elk. We went back to get the sled, when we got back our friends were gutting and skinning their doe. 80 feet away is another doe laying there watching us. We unloaded the sled went out, gutted and skinned the elk. Dragged it back, loaded it and the doe is still lying there. My buddy shot it, when it finally figured something is wrong and starts walking away.
There's no justice. I had to drag mine back through balls deep snow, the whole friggin' 250 or so yards (we had no time for the sled and I figured WTF).

So cap, fear not, thanks to farmers hay, the critters up north are doing quite well!

great news! pics please...

I just wish they would make it a mule deer a year most of the guys I hunt with sit on there tags year after year waiting for the once in a lifetime buck to showup. I look forward to my BC deer hunt every year. Most people think I'm crazy I think about deer hunting while I'm sheep hunting.

.366torque your compass must be off I thought you were down south. My wife is from BC so I always call her my southern bell.

I think there's something off about tourquey

Sorry boom no pics. It was minus 22 celcius & my batteries must have been a bit low as the cold drained 'em fast. The next morning there's no stores open.

S**t disturber! It was fun but the wind was friggin' cold! It was amazing the differance of oppositte sides of the Pass. here warm there cold.

I would have taken a rip north but I am just going to wait a couple of weeks until they open up the deer season around home.

Gentlemen,
We were tallying up yesterday or the day before, and we have figured that between four of us hunters in the family, we have shot about 13 deer this year. That is not even close to reducing the population. PLEASE COME AND TAKE TWO DOES PER HUNTER! I know farmers that are feeding over 100 deer and are taking an enormous hit from the loss of feed. I hear that the deer pop. in 7-33 is somewhere in excess of 10000 animals. There are way to many to even be healthy. I hope to get one more this year, and finish out all my tags.
Straight shooting,
Graham

I have been up to Ft. St John..

I sure wish it wasn't such a big deal to cross the border and hunt up there...what a spectacular hunting environment...

there was one hell of a cute little blonde at the Dairy Queen the last time I was there also!!!

I was old enough to be her grandpa, but It still didn't stop me from admiring some of the good looking gals up there in BC!!! eh?

Seafire/B17G;

I have been to Fort St. John, also. What a dump!! If BC needed an enema, Fort St. John is where they would stick the hose in.

Nice to see that you liked the girls. You should have gone after one - they dont much care how old you are up there. The girls are just trying to get out of there and will do most anything to snare a man.

In large part this is because most of the guys in Fort St. John are only interested in other GUYS!!!!!!! or married to their sisters - much like Prince George and the rest of BC.

A Great hunting area - if you don't mind the weirdos.
