Deer Hunting :: Re: Ethical question

ok well that Idea seemed to be a good one until I posed it on here. I appreciate the opinions, just thinking of a way to get her involved. I do like the squirrel Idea. And Bow tech if you think the genesis is not a qualified hunting bow then you are incorrect. It may not be a Mathews Reezen but if you get the larger version and crank it up I believe it puts out 45lb. I am quite happy with that bow for my daughter. Thanks to all for your input.

I believe it's got a 1 year warranty from Remington, not sure if the finish is covered by it though. If you send it in now, chances are you will not have it back in time to hunt. Not much that scheels can probably do since you've had it for so long, and it's really a Remington issue. I would call Remington customer service and see what they say, it may be a know issue with that model.

thanks, we went across three years ago with the same group, should be ok, how was the fishing with North Caribou outfitters ?

They currently fly to two lakes, North Caribou being their 'main' camp. When we went up, we flew to Williams Lake, which they no longer list as a destination on their site - I don't know if they no longer fly there, or if they just don't advertise it. We were on the lake for 7 days, 6 men, and by our estimates, we caught over 1500 walleye over the 7 days - probably closer to 2,000. That's not including the Pike we caught. When it came time for catching supper, nothing smaller than 26" went in the frying pan.

Now granted, this was on Williams Lake, which was a 13,000 acre lake. North Caribou is a 81,000 acre lake, and from what I had heard when we were up there, the fishing is just as good on North Caribou.

I believe you can help drag it out after it is tagged but any form of comunication in locating it during the hunt is illegal.. What do the regs or the local CO say, He is the one who you are ging to have to explane it to if he confronts you. If in dought get ahold of him.

Only had to sit in my stand for about 45 minutes this afternoon before a doe led this guy past my stand at about 21 yds. Double lung shot and he went about 80 yds. and laid down. Watched him thrash around for about 10 minutes before he finally expired. Tough animals, can't believe he lasted that long. Muzzy 100 3-blade does it again. Shot it from a stand no more than 150 yds. from my parents house. Called my folks and the wife and kids and waited for them to walk up the hill before going to get him. Let my 5 year old daughter follow the blood trail and find him, I acted like I didn't see him go down. Not the one I was after, but I'm still a happy hunter. Wasn't going to give this guy a free pass. 10 scorable points. Main frame 8 with a split G-2 on the left and a split browtine on the right.

He also has several quarter sized white spots on his neck and shoulders, never have I see a partial piebald before, I'm debating if I should shoulder mount or European mount. I have never shoulder mounted a deer before, all European mounts in my downstairs.

A day couldn't get more wonderful than that, for her or ol' Poppabear. Give her a great big, "Congratulations" from me and you've got one coming, too. Great job, Dad!
