Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Dryden deer hunting

I'm just curious to see how the deer hunting is in the area.

Ed, we see plenty of deer when we are there.

I'd recommend staying west of Dryden. I spent a handful of days to the east and couldn't find a deer a track.

I'm 30 kms west of Dryden, been real tough the last 3 years.

Sat 8 hours Saturday & 7 Sunday.

1 small spike, seen Saturday & 1 doe Sunday - Obviously could have converted either or both.

Saw my 1st rooster pheasant & a Fisher too.

So, not wasted days !











Oh, & the weather was cool & dry, so I took out the old iron !

Saturday - M95



Sunday - M99

Nice lever guns Paul. All the best for the season.

Cheers Nick !

To you & yours, Too Mate !

Interesting is the whitetails from around here are so much different than other places on the Continent, that spike looks quite a bit larger than what one would see around here.

Howdy Mate,

Yes, our whitetails are large bodied, for sure !

Some have decent racks;



Some don't, particularly what I refer to as "scrub bucks";



This 2nd deer, was way heavier, than the 1 above !

Here's one my buddy shot on crown land in 2011.
