FNG from Alberta

[horpensky]

Hey all, new guy from Alberta, Canada. Somewhat new to the hunting game (8 years now) and always looking to learn and improve. Been lurking for a few months and have found this forum to be a tremendous resource. Look forward to being a member and continuing the journey.

Noticed a few other Albertans on here. Maybe we should start a local chapter...

As the self-appointed chairman of the welcoming committee, it is my privilege to extend a laurel, and hearty handshake (virtual, of course) to our new Alberta member.

Welcome
Have you been out to the longest mile range at edson?

 

[horpensky]

Unfortunately no. It would be a pretty good drive there and back from where I am, and they don't offer day passes, but it looks like an impressive range.

Welcome from BC. How did your hunting season go?

Excellent range! I wish I was closer myself.

Welcome from BC. How did your hunting season go?

Very slow start. Went out to two different crown areas with two different sets of hunting buddies and we all got skunked at both locations. It was really warm the first couple weeks of November, so we tried to feel better about ourselves by convincing each other the animals weren't really moving yet.

Things picked up once the cold spell hit. One weekend buddy shot a bomber of a buck in the bush, and then I filled my tag the following weekend on a decent 4 pointer.

How'd it go in your area?

Went to a charity shoot up there I think 2017 or so. Lots of room for shooing events. Seen a wolf on the way out there, they also had a griz trying to kill a black bear on the range the day before while they were setting up.

That sounds pretty good. I had a bit of a slow season, and made some mistakes, but I did get a wt, moose and caribou. So I had some success.

That sounds like a pretty good season to me!
