As some live hunt big buck threads wind down over the weekend, mine will be just beginning. I leave tomorrow evening from Calgary to hunt the Alberta Whitetail Monarchs found north of Edmonton!
I will be joining a new friend from work who has went out of his way to get me engaged in hunting Alberta. We have made two mule deer hunts in southern Alberta, and while we came close we never closed the deal during archery season.
Regular season is here now and most WMU's are draw only for elk and mule deer, so I am shut out. However, Alberta is also know for large whitetails and the crown land we will be hunting north of Edmonton is know for the big boys!
We will be a group of five with me being the lone bowhunter. I will be bringing my new rifle as well. I plan on packing both weapons to the stand. My goal is the bow, but if weather conditions (cold) make that too difficult, then I will be prepared with a plan "B".
We'll be staying in a local motel and driving to the hunting grounds each day. One guy arrived yesterday and has set up 5 rifle tower/ ladder stands. I will be picking up a couple blinds at BassPro on the way out of town.
This will be my first and only multiple day hunt this year in Alberta....pretty excited about hunting this area!
