Hey guys hope every one is having a great season. I just returned from my Canada whitetail hunt. When I got off the plane in Edmonton Alberta it was a 2 hour drive from the airport to the lodge. I met one of the hunters that would be in camp Steve we shared hunting stories. Lee told us we would have to be patient if we wanted get a big whitetail he told us of the whitetails he had been seeing.
We arrived at the lodge I met another bowhunter Rene. We shot are bows than we met Eric he told us what the plan for mourning. We ate dinner than Eric told me I would be hunting a huge 10 point with 2 cheaters that night I didn't get much sleep. Monday I didn't see any deer Tuesday I had some doe under my stand I saw the big 8 point he was on my left I told Eric when I got out of the stand Eric told me to pass him if I saw him again. Wednesday night the buck was back he came to within 20 yrds I passed him. The rest of the week was slow I never the saw the buck after Wednesday I did see a big bull moose lots of mule deer some shooters. The weather played a big part in this hunt in was 80 degrees 2 weeks before my hunt than it was really cold the week I hunted in Alberta. This hunt was one of the best I have ever experienced I had a blast I will be back in the north county very soon This hunt also taught me to be patient shoot straight dave

I hope you know you are the envy of us all! At your age, getting the chance to hunt whitetail up in Alberta is a true gem! No worries on not arrowing a deer. I am sure you learned a ton and it sounds like it was a great experience overall. Remember the bucks you saw up there and learn from them. You'll get another chance, and you'll be well ahead of the game based on this trip you took. I am jealous!
