"Most guys saw some good deer so I was just unlucky today."
I guess everything is relative. Most guys are in the office and you are in Canada hunting deer. I think you are not the unlucky one.

Full moon should be waning which will help. Hope you shoot a big one!

When are you going to toughen up and come up for a Canadian rut hunt and really experience what Saskatchewan has to offer? I know you always have the Kansas hunt, but you need to experience the rut in Saskatchewan! Mid-October isn't the "dynamite" whitetail time and yet you see what Sask has to offer at that time of year :)

When is the "dynamite" rut up there?

Bou'bound- my thoughts exactly! I am sitting here sweating in my office and it is 80+ degrees(84+ outside! ;-)

What Bou' said (as I sit here in my office). By the way Pat, it's 78 degrees and sunny in Hartford today. Good luck in Saskatchewan.

Ghost - was more referring to Pat hunting the "lull." Same as most places, November is awesome, and I always find a lot of the biggest bruisers make themselves visible at the tail end of November. The search is hot for the last does trickling out, and a few fawns are starting to get into estrous.
Hunting with a local in Saskatchewan a few years ago, he always said about the 25th of Nov is when it really got good. Keep in mind they mostly "cruise with rifles." But the guy had heaps of 160-180" whitetail racks bouncing around in his workshop that weren't nice enough to have inside his house. He was just a super humble modest type farmer guy. Had a couple 200"+ bucks. Unreal how much bone was in his workshop. My buddies and I were all googoo gaga over his "rejects" lol.

From: Sage Buffalo

Pat the bucks that were shot - do you think they are representative of the area or are guys not seeing as many and resetting expectations? Not a knock on the area but I have been to great places where we just were the "tough" week so good animals were taken but not the typical giants.
Just curious.
From: Charlie Rehor
20-Oct-16
Wow some great bucks killed already. Nice 9 point for Greg! Congrats!
From: nijimasu

Maybe "going home empty" is an option for you, but have some mercy on us poor working stiffs that aren't getting much time to hunt this year. I appreciate you taking the time to include plenty of cool reports and pics, but I really do need to see you kill something, and we obviously need as many bloodtrail challenges as possible. Pretty please?
From: Bigfoot

As a Canadian resident, but from a different province, we used to be able to buy a non-resident tag for whitetails in Saskatchewan. Myself and a friend hunted, quite a number of years, within an hour or so of where Pat is right now. Knew some people up there and we had a great time. We went in October, so we could extend our whitetail season and still hunt the rut in our home province. October was tough. We took some nice deer, so no complaints, but the giants just weren't very active. We found the bucks had tiny home ranges at that time and unless you found those spots, finding them moving to the fields was a long shot. The farmers would tell of us the big bucks they saw in the summer and September, but they disappeared in October - not from hunting pressure neither. There was no one else there bowhunting deer. But, it is a beautiful time of year and we enjoyed the heck out of it. Since Saskatchewan has put Canadian residents on a draw, we have applied every year. Haven't been drawn yet, so it has been a number of years since we have been there. Really miss those October hunts.

That ten point sure looks like a big bodied deer....3.5 year old?
From: IdyllwildArcher
21-Oct-16
I was thinking the same thing Jake, but I think it's the butt-first camera angle that's making him look bigger in relation to his rack. And they do grow them pretty big up there... My first thought was that he was older, but the more I looked at him, I think Pat is right and he's 3.
From: Medicinemann
21-Oct-16
I am not that accurate when estimating deer ages...but usually within a year or two....and really wasn't questioning Pat's age estimate. I was just impressed with that deer's size.....and his belly sag...camera angle definitely needs to be considered for sure.
From: GhostBird
21-Oct-16
Keep at it Pat. Good luck.
From: Charlie Rehor
21-Oct-16
I read Killing the Rising Sun in 9 hours but that was hanging around the house waiting to go deer hunting. Everyone should read this book! Passing the deer you have already will eventually be rewarded. Each buck passed just brings you one buck closer. But you know that:) Good luck! C
From: Jack Harris
21-Oct-16
That 10pt would get my blood flowing in NJ - perhaps not up there... The reality is, you can't shoot a bigger buck if you tagged that one. One of the benefits of potentially eating a tag, is you get to hunt more, so its all good.
From: Mike the Tiger
21-Oct-16
wow- would have been very hard for me to pass up that 10pt-
From: Will
21-Oct-16
It is funny, Pat, how pretty much every buck you passed would be a beast in CT... Location = reality...
From: Grunter
21-Oct-16
Good luck Pat! Those deer have some big bodies up there. Now just need the rack to match up. Gotta be exciting to be able to see all the action. Definitely makes time go by faster

That chocolate horned 8pt. is gonna be something in two years. Maybe next year!! I agree even up there that 10pt. may be in trouble if I was behind the bow. Nice photos! Shawn

Pat, I saw the video that you were referring to....what a frigging animal.....I can't believe that he passed. You are right, it is a solid 170 buck!!

My guess is he shot the buck just before dark, thinks it was a good hit, but didn't want to press the buck, so let it be until this morning. Then I'd guess they'll find it without much trouble but the 'yotes will have found it first.
That's exactly what happened to me when I hunted with Pat in Kansas a number of years ago. We went back the next morning and found him immediately, not 75 yards from where I was when I decided to let him be overnight. The 'yotes had destroyed everything from the front shoulders on back, but luckily the cape was untouched.
From: Medicinemann
23-Oct-16
If Pat was successful, he is trying to line up the movie rights before releasing any video or photos....He'll have Angelina-free Brad Pitt star as himself.....and Bullwinkle will star as the buck.....Hilliary will star as the spooky doe that tries to keep the buck away from Pat's stand.

If my memory serves correctly, he saw that big buck on the last day of his hunt. He has probably been traveling all day....returning home from Saskatchewan. Might take a day or two to get enough time to get in front of a computer and provide closure.

From: Charlie Rehor

Pat does things right all the time/every time so I figured he was preparing the story and video while flying home in order to be at work in the am at his real job! So well deserved and I know you appreciate the beast and all that bow hunting means to us! Enjoy! C

Big congrats...... Way to stick it out till the end. Those who work the hardest usually get the luckiest! To post the trail cam pic and then kill him the next day reminds me of the Babe calling his shot. Way to go man....

Almost seems easy. Get one pic of giant buck, decide you are going for him, next day pick a stand, see him in the morning, watch deer all day, in late afternoon he walks right under your stand then broadside at 12 yds. Only takes 35 years of hard work for that to all come together. I'm obviously talking tongue in cheek here. Congrats and that is just awesome that it happened.
From: PAbowhunter1064

Wow, very awesome to say the least! I was super impressed you did such a fantastic job of filming - can you share the details of what camera and mounting system you used? A bit risky turning the camera on and arranging it for the shot esp. at that close range, but you did it all!
Congratulations also to Rob, plus everyone at Canadian Trophy Quest that have created such a fine operation. Lifetime memories for sure...

Wow, very awesome to say the least! I was super impressed you did such a fantastic job of filming - can you share the details of what camera and mounting system you used? A bit risky turning the camera on and arranging it for the shot esp. at that close range, but you did it all!
Congratulations also to Rob, plus everyone at Canadian Trophy Quest that have created such a fine operation. Lifetime memories for sure...

Pat, I'm also curious if you used a remote camera switch as the camera angle vs. arrow flight angle seems to suggest the camera was not from the same position. Very nicely done, regardless...!

Wow, I have seen/heard of some last minute hunting success, but none come close to this one. Unbelievable! You da man! He also forever answered the question of is it OK to pee near your stand. Ya think someone might hunt that stand in the future???

This was my third time hunting with Rob Nye and his group of top notch folks. Cannot say enough about Murry, Tom, Nathan and Holly. Hard working group with a focus on the client and animals. Rob is a deer/hunting/fishing encyclopedia. Will be here again very soon. Thanks again!

The only thing that would have made the video any better is if you had stuck your boot out in the frame!

I would not even ask what the score was if not for the fact the Bowsite itself is sending out emails advertising the deer and the score. This was received today:
Saskatchewan Live Hunt ends with buck of a lifetime While filming a Bowsite Live Hunt in Saskatchewan with outfitter Rob Nye - this 200" public land giant is killed in the last 15 minutes of the hunt - on film!
SO WHAT DID THE BUCK SCORE?
