So far I have some waterfowl and roosters in the freezer. Headed out looking to close an antlered elk tag, hopefully in the AM, but I have all next week as well to hunt. Access has been tough in SE Alberta this Fall due to fire concerns but I have access to a couple rather large ranches. No deer tag this year, by choice. I don't want any distractions from my elk hunt. Jeff

So far so good. My brother flew in from out of province for non-res Archery WT and got a decent buck. I got two Antelopes down south and got back home in time to fill my Archery Mule Deer tag. Now on to fill the few Whitetail tags between my wife and I.

Got into an impromptu pass shoot with the 20 hammer double for snows during our pheasant hunt! Cat little bit of chicken hunting on the way down for geese BP guns were smokin' on this morning! And of course we got into pheasants every day down south as well.

Season's over for us and we managed to tag:
Three WT Bucks (myself, brother and father in-law) One Mule Buck One Antelope Buck One Antelope Doe
Also, since my season finished early, I went out hunting with a few buddies who were struggling and got three guys on good WT bucks and the fourth decided not to shoot any of the many WT good bucks I put him on, not big enough he said. That was a decision he came to regret on the last evening of the season. Like I told him, don't ever pass on the first day something you would beg for on the last.
Overall, it was a great season and everyone had fun, including my buddy who didn't shoot anything!

Never had less shooting and saw less sign than this season. Granted, I dont bow hunt so maybe it was a great fall, but this ML/shotgun season is dead by me.
I heard 10 shots opening day. In NJ, thats pretty absurd.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

That 95 grain SST is a GREAT choice for the .243. My wife shoots the Ruger American 7mm-08 in the same configuration as yours. I don't care for matte and plastic, but it sure makes sense for an all weather hunting gun. NICE deer. Perfect size for great eating. Thanks for posting.

Worst season ever here in BC for many of us, Moose, Elk, Mule deer way down in numbers, so in 40+ years nothing in the freezer here.

Sorry to hear that. Our moose population has been decimated, but the Ontario MNR still sells 110,000 calf tags every year !
