right on. I bought a zodiac and am going to go up the athabasca river for elk next year. Cant wait.

What part of alberta do you hunt

[GYMBRAT]

yeah man can't beat the river banks for Elk etc, Elf is prime time in my area in middle to late Nov....I do 90% of my Hunting North of Grande Prairie Ab. We own a fair bit of PRIME Hunting land up North ;)

[waderow]

sweet thats some good shit up there.
I lived in Slave lake for a couple years, and we had a moose camp up neat Utikima Lake (near red earth creek). Was a 2 hour quad ride from the furthest road into the bush, and **** me did we see game. Pulled about 8 bulls out over 50 inches

[GYMBRAT]

Red Earth, yeah spent a lot of work/Hunting yrs up in that shit hole lol, but it is some insane Hunting that's for sure, nothing but BIG everything in them woods out there! From Peace area originally, just southish from Red Earth.

it can also be a bit wet up in those parts LOL

One year I didnt even make it into camp. Spent 8 hours on quad and winched 7.5 hours of it. Set up camp in the high ground, and turned around the next morning and came out. Too ****ing wet to hunt. Popped off two tire beads, and a valve stem. Burnt out a winch.
It was not pretty. PLus I took up my cousin that year, and he almost started crying (never again). it was a grunt, but ****ing have some dignity LOL

I could just imagine getting a big bull and having to take it out in 5 pieces. It would take a week for **** sakes. I hunted more towards Wabasca that year and didnt see an animal. Indians have that are too cleaned out.

This is a pic of my old moose camp from about 1999

[GYMBRAT]

it does get wet that time of the yr up there yes, lol, and cold! ...quartering them big bastards up is a job! then yet you still gotta get them out, been there done that a # of times for sure. Great cardio LOL!

Oh yes the trusty old 3 wheeler Hnda Big Reds...tough as hell them things were.

I have a few Native bro's that tag along with their Treaty Cards ;) in trade for a front quarter or so.

[ironwill]

Not this year, but next for sure.......I miss the hunt big time...We grew up with horses on our farm on the border of a national park....It was great, you can shoot a moose in the most ugly ravine around, harness up the horses and cut a semi-path and you are done..Once you get the horses used to the smell of blood its excellent..CC and i still have horses....You can walk right into a herd of elk on horseback with no notice by them...lol...
We see them most days on the way to work....talk about fever...
Good luck to you all, be safe.....
Have fun......lucky buggers

good trade! LOL

And I still have my big red. Keep it for sentimental purposes I guess. Miss going out on it, but prefer the quad... without a doubt

[GYMBRAT]

....and thanks man appreciate it!

[Mr Ontario]

I have a high priority (9) for elk draw in the ya ha tinda (sp?) area and will probably take advantage of it in a couple years. Horse back only. I am going to hire a crew I guess and try it on. Hope I dont die

[GYMBRAT]

[waderow]

I have half a calf moose in the freezer, and about 15 roasts left from my bull last year. I am going to be eating moose ED now LOL I better get one this fall....

That's ****ing wild. I have never seen I moose live in person but those pics really show off it's size.

300 win mag huh? That's a beast of a round. Biggest I ever shot was a 270 Win.


You allowed to hunt moose with a shotgun? I would think a 12 gauge slug would drop a moose no?

[vazsek]

i never had enough time during bow season to get my moose but theres an elk out there with my name on it.

I dont think the lack of penetration would make up for the heavy hit. Plus you need range sometimes. Last years bull was 300 yards.

[GYMBRAT]

yeah ya need to destroy the lungs, heart etc to drop a monster Moose

[OrangePeel]

Going for Moose with my father in a month or so here in Sask.

[GYMBRAT]

it's an awesome feeling to bring one of them big buggers down, my first one was at the ripe old age of 11, still just as exciting every yr after.....you'll love it, good luck!

[GYMBRAT]

^ it's the best man! I grew up Country up North..never had to even walk 50 yards to blast something lol......you gonna get back into it bro?

[ironwill]

Most definitely........i havent hunted in AB, just moved here, getting to know the lay of the land and hunting friends....next yr for sure......

[GYMBRAT]

good for you bro, we'll be keeping in touch fosho ;)

maybe we'll just strap the rifles on our scoots and go from there. 2 birds wit one stone ha ha J/K

[ironwill]

the hogs would look good with a couple scabbards mounted to front fork...great idea man...lol

[GYMBRAT]

LOL we'd draw a fair bit of attention I'm quite sure, but it would make for a sweet ass pic though huh!

[icey_boi]

i want to go hunting sooooo badly!

never been. i go to the gun club all the time and out shooting at buddys farms but thats just not cutting it anymore lol

and im also not totaly sure if one can get a FAC or wutever with a record. i have 3 non-inditable(sp) charges... would that hinder me from getting one?

P.A.L- possesion and acquisition licence. Non restricted and resrticted.

I'd have to check but I'm pretty sure the charges would screw you over

[GYMBRAT]

yeah not sure on that one, but an F.A.C is a (Fire Arms Acquisition) card mainly just for the person to purchase a fire arm from a retail store ..I do believe.
