Good luck Pat - just realized you never hunted there in 2017 - Rob had enough of you killing his top bucks?

Ooph, not a great tune Pat. My sympathies... Wait, you are spending a bunch of day's deer hunting in Sask... I take it back. Hopefully the Macarena pops into your head after reading this... Or... Rock N' Roll Chicken... Yeahhhhhh Woowwwww.... :)

Pretty incredible to see two 4.5 year old bucks in the same day. Cold temps in mid October is about the most perfect bait situation a guy could hope for I would think. In November you've got ladies pulling them all over the place but now they are bulking up and with cold temps - in for a great hunt.

good luck, sounds like you already had good luck, seeing that many bucks in one day and a couple of mature ones. Nice. Enjoy and shoot straight.

Beautiful pics Pat. When you see that main beam of the bigger four 1/4" from the other bucks eye as they are "playing" not hard to see how a buck gets blinded if they were to go at it for real.

Pat, Are wolves in season? Do you have a tag? How close did it get to you?
From: APauls
17-Oct-18
Oh man - love to see the video of that buck making a rub!!!
Only downer to having stayed up late enough to catch the day two update is now there’s nothing new for me in the morning :(
Crazy how they come to the same bait pile multiple times in a day!
From: Grunter

New stand for tomorrow! Get some new scenery. They seem to be active up there
From: Bou'bound

My hunting partner, Keith, and I used to hunt, not far south of where Pat is, in October for many years with bows. We're from Alberta and, at that time, could buy a tag and go hunt. Saskatchewan changed the rules a few years ago so Canadian nonresidents need to apply in a draw and we haven't been drawn for many years now. Really miss those October bowhunts. Wolves were something we dealt with many times. The deer did react to them, but didn't complete leave the area. On one of those trips I shot a buck one evening that we decided to recover in the morning due to the shot placement. We found the deer early the next day but, as we approached the deer in heavy timber, heard something move off. We thought it may have been a bear, they were always in the area, but the deer hadn't yet been touched. After a few photos Keith left to bring the truck closer while I got to work on the deer. Keith was 75 yards away when I heard something coming toward me from the opposite direction. Within a few moments a black Wolf popped out of the timber less than 5 yards away. I had my knife in my hand but certainly had no thought of using it to defend myself. Honestly, the experience was exciting but I never felt in any danger. The Wolf spotted me and immediately spun and ran off. A neat experience. We certainly could have taken a few Wolves over the years in that area, but nonresidents weren't allowed. The area farmers sure wish we could have taken a few. The area deer and livestock were certainly affected by the high number of Wolves.

I love those big 8's. I'd have a very hard time not shooting that thing. Good luck on day 3.

That would be really hard to pass up that chocolate horned mainframe 8 point. Perfect deer to me. Love them dark racks!

Ok, maybe I'm just a hack from New England, but I'm hopeful you shot that deer! Stud of a buck. Were you in the blind behind him in the pic?

Hunt hard and hunt safe. Cold weather is good for deer movement, but it can "stove you up!"

From: Jack Harris

It's a great place in your bowhunting life to be passing on bucks that would have made you sh#t your pants 20 years ago - that's the great thing about it, the progressions in our stages and experiences. I would be just as happy for a kid shooting a forkhorn as I would be for you shooting a 220" buck this time! I just saw this - will be following and hope you get a good one! Good luck Pat

I love the unknowns of what can show up in the timber of Alberta or Sask. Having hunted both of them, its pretty special never knowing what can pop out. Very cool stuff, and will be keeping an eye as this hunt continues!!!

I am hoping that Pat hasn't posted the video yet because he still needed to do some video editing before posting it on the forum. Either that, or they are still in tracking/recovery mode...….

From: Will

No joke APauls! I'm staying positive... hopefully it was not an iffy shot resulting in wolf chow... Fingers crossed Pat (assuming the more at 11 thing was suggesting you did shoot that buck in the pic)...

Pat,
According to your report you spent 2 days in a tree stand. However, no "boot shoots" while in the stand were posted. How do we know this was an official, legit hunt? I thought this was a requirement for live or semi live hunt thread postings.
