Canada has been an incredible hunting experience for me the last couple of years. This year I was able to get a real trophy buck.

Cut to the chase on day 3 of the hunt, things had been pretty slow and at 2:46 pm my biggest buck ever shows. Dropped him with a double shoulder shot that broke both shots and the spine. Excited, I put a double lunger in him for good measure.

Here are some pics

One of my shooting lanes with a 200# dinker young buck in it.

I passed on this deer last year on the left. He's the same deer on the right one year. It's hard to believe how much bone these deer can put on their heads in a single year!

Here he is! 10 point frame with 25" main beams and 13 scorable points. We scored him at 171 7/8".

You did well. Waidmannsheil! A nice bit of natural art to remember your hunt by. I trust you have him hanging in a place of honour.
For what it's worth, as a local I probably had a couple hundred deer in front of me at various times this fall, not one was as good as your deer. I think the same goes for a couple years before that too. It is a very special privilege when you get to put your tag on a really good one!

That explains it. We all know a 308 can't do something like that WITHOUT ALL the CUSTOMIZATION. whistle laugh

Thanks Jerry - being a lefty, just finding a left handed short action .308 isn't an easy task. It was a .243 youth rifle that I made into my version of a LH M7 smile

That is an absolute stud, congratulations.

If you don't mind me asking; what outfitters were you hunting with? I plan on making a trip North of the border once I get one or two out of college. There are several local guys I know that have hunted with Caribou Trails Outfitters in SK. From what I'm told, Mark is a very good host and they have had several successful hunts.

Thanks for the info.

Maybe I missed it somewhere in the thread, but what did that one green score?
