HunterJim,

That buck did come out of the Peace RIver area by a small town named Grimshaw as the local rumor goes right now. The bucks are starting to move now. We are seeing bucks in the late mornings moving. It will be soon. My father in law just came up and shot his bull moose after his second day.

Regards,

Not my buck, just one from the area. Snow is going fast and there may not be any in a week if the forecast is correct.

The fellow who sent it to said it was shot two weeks ago. I was up in that area the 3rd week of October and there was plenty of snow. I don't know anything else.

I'm not seeing much movement, except from other hunters. Jeez, it was warm today. I got home last night at 3:15 in the a.m. (after starting a the office at 7:15, also in the a.m., what a day) and I didn't get out of bed until 9. Had some breakfast, dressed up, and drive to a grazing lease to hunt, only to find out that I might as well hunted in my T-shirt. Saw one doe. Everything dry and crunchy. Please, give us a foot of snow.

What happened to the brow tine in the first picture? I cant see it but then in the later one I do, seems a little funny.

Rough score on the deer at the moment is 225. It will get
an official score later. The one brow tine just doesn't
show up in the picture. The longest one is 14 inches with
a sticker off it about 8 inches. The one you can't see
is 9 inches it seems to me. The guy that shot it and I grew
up together. I helped load it, skin it and drink the 2
bottles of rum after.

There are some whoppers being taken this year.

I scored a nice non-typical whitey for a buddy last night that goes around 160 net.

Pales in comparison to a rumored non-typical that was shot very close by a couple weeks ago...it'll supposedly go 233" or so. I hope to get a look at it soon.

I was also looking at a 160 class net typical buck at the taxidermist last night too.

The rut is definitely picking up. While driving through Alberta on Sunday (Hwy's 22 and 43), I drove by 8 road killed whitey bucks in the ditch!!

Cheers,
Chris
