Our native Manitoba subspecies tends to be a bit bigger bodies, and darker, with heavy but somewhat short antlers compared to the Rocky Mountain variety that is so commonly featured on American websites and magazines. So I thought you might enjoy seeing what we hunt here. I "guided" my buddy to a pretty nice bull last week on my land in Eastern Saskatchewan. We'd seen lots of rubs and heard a bull bugle in this spot for a few years now. I was content with the dry cow I'd shot a few days before, so I was taking pictures for this hunt.

He passed up these three the first morning ( cows are legal with our over the counter tag system)

and later in the evening connected with this one... he seems pretty happy doesn't he?

I had to admire it too!
