6A success

I spent last week hunting in the Duck Mountains of Manitoba. My first ever out of state hunt. Talk about remote! I'd get dropped off before daylight and picked up at dark. You can hunt the 30 minutes before sunrise and the 30 minutes after sunset there....wish we could here. I saw 15 deer all week. 2 were big enough to shoot, but they were in very heavy brush 200 yards out, and only there for a couple of seconds. I passed on a small 8 at 30 yards, and a couple 4 pointers. I did see a couple bull moose, an eagle eating a rabbit it had just killed, and a weasel. While I didn't shoot a big buck, I did have the time of my life!

 

I got home at 2:30 Sunday morning. I headed out at 1:30  to my blind on the farm here and shot this 9 pointer at 3:00!  He had his nose to the ground in the cut corn field at 250 yards. I figured he'd work his way up to my plot since that's where all the does head, but he disappeared into a treeline. He was gone about 10 minutes and I was debating whether I should climb down and go look for him, when he popped out at 50 yards.
