Thanks Peps!!! It sure was Thanks Tony!!! Thanks Luc!!! Both are at the butcher and I too can't wait for the meat to be ready for pickup

Luc, first and foremost, Congratulations on your big buck Big rack and real beauty Reading through your report, found this quote and immediately got a chuckle Since I have the same bag, never used it and like you, decided that this year I'd give it a shot.... your results were better than mine Last weekend, deer was in full rot and rattling is an effective way, just before sun down, to lure a buck towards you Again great job and congratulations!!! Leechman

Thanks Joe!!! The riffle season is short over here (first 2 weeks of November) If I was going bow hunt, I would have from mid September to mid October. We also have doe draw but I haven't had the luxury of wining in a few years but I keep applying Thanks again Joe and wish you the best of luck in your hunt Jacques

Yes it is, riffle and bow... Looks like the deer population is out of control in your area If you hunt... good luck harvesting

BIG BRUTE That's all I have to say

Thanks Roy!!! Yep I was only able to go weekends this year and opener was not an option This was 4 solid days of hunting for me and our group and I'm really pleased with the results Thanks Darren!!! You bet Thanks Emil!!! LOL They can hide but not for long LOL Best therapy in the world... sitting by yourself in the bush and wait for them to stroll by

It's great you got back into fishing Paul... 20 years away from it, is a long time but from this report, I see you still have the passion You've caught your first musky, PB walleye, bass and perch Congrats mon ami Great job Thanks for sharing!!! Jacques

Last Sunday, we got our deer late in the afternoon and came back out of the bush in the dark Remember him Well this weekend, it was the opposite We came back out of the bush bright and early Got another spike Saturday morning Guestimated @ 125Lbs field dressed Our friend shot it at 7:20am to finish the season made sure, this time to snap a few pics for your viewing pleasure Last night, the tenderloins made an appearance in the pan and again, had a hunter's dream meal along side of heart, kidneys and liver cut into steaks Without getting into the details.... I'll let the pictures do the talking Enjoy!!! Our freezer guest... a twin slightly heavier! Our friend and his wife His wife.... an avid hunter by the way My brother Me My brother and I All in all, was a great successful season for us Looking forward to hard water season now Tight lines Leechman

He's adorable Simon

Nice buck Peter Congrats Good luck with that 16 pointer Leechman

Thanks tb4me!!! After removing the kidneys & liver and putting them in his pockets, our friend reached for the heart and was about to remove it and I immediately told him... Your running out of pockets, best to just leave it attached

Thanks fishindevil!!! I know... It was delicious woodenboater Thanks outdoorsman!!! You bet

Thanks Cliff!!! LOL The little bit of dragging I did at the end was all on adrenaline... just wanted to see Mr. Buck get to the truck safely Thanks Chad!!! It sure is Had I not have so many layers on, would of made the trip up and down that steep hill a little easier for me Just got word from my friend that a 6 & 8 pointer was spotted on the property Saturday morning can't come soon enough Thanks Corvy!!! I'll give it my best Thanks K_F!!! I sure will Thanks Dan!!! Had the tenderloins tonight with my brother and they tasted great After having Mr. Buck out of the bush and in the truck, the thought of a cigarette never came to mind... All I could think of was a nice cold beer Thanks CJR!!! ********* Photo Update ********* Got a pic in the mail tonight from my friend's daughter that she took Sunday with her cell phone... not the greatest shot but you can see the happy hunters and Mr. Buck And the infamous hunters dream meal Tight lines Leechman

I use Excaliber on all my lures and this is my personal choice Leechman

For those interested, here's an update on our hunt so far. Sorry no pics since we killed late yesterday afternoon and came back out of the bush well after sunset. Pics were taken by our friend on his cell phone and when I receive them via email, will post them. Keep reading and you'll understand The location we hunt in, is in a gulley / valley type along the one side, a steep mountain... in the bottom, it's full of pine trees and swampy, on top, a section, is all hard wood and sort of flat but to get there, it's a real pain climbing a steep hill, so we positioned ourselves in the gulley, on each side of it, at opposite ends, since deer will at some point visit to hide in (mostly at sunset). The weather was excellent this weekend, with clear sky's and moderate winds and temps dropping below zero at night First morning and snow had fallen, making it all white but during the afternoon, it melted, making it nice and comfy with above zero temps To make a long story short, Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning, I heard cracking noise, in front of me at the top of the mountain, so is my brother, and from where we were positioned, no way to see what caused it.... Had a suspicion it was a deer but could not confirm Well Sunday, late afternoon, that suspicion was confirmed The plan was for my brother and friend do a chase on top of the mountain while I sit in the blind, positioned down in the gorge and see if they could push a deer my way. Best decision we ever made So we proceeded... I got in position and waited while they climbed up the mountain. Not 15 minutes went by and hear a cracking sound No worries... it was my brother going by Then a few second later I hear a gun shot BANG This is when I reach for my two way radio and wait... I then hear my brother say "Jacques, viens-t'en nous rejoindre.... monte en face d'la cache pit tu vas nous trouver..." To translate for our none French members "Jacques, come and meet us... climb up the mountain in front of the blind and you'll find us" So I proceeded to leave the blind, my back pack full of gear and tackle my ascension... Took a good 20 minutes to reach the top but couldn't see them. So I use my radio to locate them.... once arrived at destination, laying sideways, was a nice buck A spike My brother was real happy So now, the fun part past us, came the work part.... the gutting and the dragging Our friend ask, do we have a rope and a bag??? Nope I replied!!! it's in my back pack in the deer blind down in the gorge He says, it's all good, will have to put the liver and kidneys in my vest pockets So he did By then, I look at my watch and it's 4h45pm, not much day light remaining... up on top, you could see for miles but looking down in the gulley, it was getting dark Our friend says to me "Jacques, take the riffles and follow us" I don't know about you but carrying 3 riffles going down a steep hill was quite a challenge and not to mention that I was dressed in multi layers to sit in a blind while they did the chase.... so by the time we got the deer next to the blind, it was pitch dark and all of us, was soaking wet from the hard work There's more that follows but I'm affraid I'd be typing for ever We got to our friends place around 6h15pm and celebrated our efforts with a nice cold beer, then we hung our guess outside to cool him down, finished cleaning him, removed the tender loins The ultimate treat for hunters The spike is guesstimated @ around 110Lbs, field dressed. Got back home late last night.... happy to be back with a successful hunt. Next weekend going back for more... hope to get to use my tag for another Forgot to mentioned that a 12 pointer was spotted by locals going into the gulley... that in itself has my blood pumping for next weekend Hope the story make sense!!!
