Really? Then I find it odd that last yr I received so many p.m's about, "Not seeing all the points I counted", or "it being fishy that I killed 3 good bucks in 3 yrs" and do on. In killing a truly big deer last yr I made alot more enemies in the contest than friends. Like I said, some guys that the little contest a little too seriously. I'd have liked to enter the contest again this yr, would have added an 11 pt whitetail to someone's score. I'm not the only person to duck out for the same reasons.

I meant to say the odd person and I'll add that I agree with superguide. Post count shouldn't count for squat. I've posted maybe 100 times in the last yr and I'll bet I've had more to say about hunting than some people that have rattled up 1000 posts in the same time.

I didn't go in the contest this yr b/c some people take it a little bit too serious for my liking. Will it make anyone rich or a houselhold name. Believe it or not, the off person that disappeared may have had reason to do so.

Scout...alot. By that I mean never stop, despite the time of yr. That'll let you know if there is one worth waiting for.

Keith Whitley ...When you say nothing at all.

Lots of different places are putting out big deer, lots of them. I would put absolutely no stock at all in what the record books say. What they say to me is what places have the most hunters who want to put their name in a book. I know of MANY B&C whitetails here that aren't entered.

It was hard on my stock that week superg.....my stock being a dog, 2 cats, a truck and van..that stayed dead for 6 days.

Love the mass and character..doubt it'll make book, but who cares, he's a beauty, congrats!!

Not really sure if anyone cares, the one from Leoville was shot in 2005. The one from Two hills Alberta is actually a kill from last yr, by a guide who works for Diamond Willow Outfitters out of Vilna, Alberta, check out there website, it's there. Not sure if anyone cares, but these pics seem to fly around the net with crazy stories, 2 of them I know for a fact are not from this yr.

People that know me know I feel this way but I'll say it anyways for other saskatchewan members on here. If you truly care about wildlife and deer hunting in our great province..don't support the 2nd either sex tag. It is a cancer in the management of out deer hunting opportunities. I don't know who likes to fish..but if you do, look at Tobin Lake Saskatchewan, best trophy walleye and pike lake in Canada...easily.......b/c they have slot limits. We're not protecting the future of the resource by killing 2 bucks a piece.

Most definately mature buck #'s even deer #'s are down in the forest due to last yrs harsh winter. This winter is shaping up to be one in the same. It is completely idiotic of our Gov't to issue 2 either sex tags in the forest when #'s are down, even when #'s are high in my opinion. Targetting bucks is not the way to bring the population down, anyone with a wee bit of biology knows that reducing the doe #'s is the only way to bring down population #'s. As for the CWD thing, it is terrible. I will say that any one who participates in such a hunt is robbing from their children's future b/c doing so only hurts the future of deer hunting, taints hunter/landowner relationships and is based solely on greed. i grew up in an area that has been CWD targetted for a # of yrs. Ask any local hunters there and landowners as well about the program and you'll find alot of hatred. Before driving halfway across the province to slaughter some animals, ask yourself, would I like a bunch of guys driving to my backyard and blasting at every animal in sight. Plus the procedures are stupid, turn in a doe tag and a little buck and get a trophy tag. I could have 10 doe heads and 10 little buck heads in my truck box by the time I got to where I grew up and that would be as hard as stopping by any hide drop off dumpster in every town along the way. IDIOTS!!! Anyways tarheel, I feel as though you were subject to a yr with far less mature deer than yrs past. I'd be doing some serious checking into if Sask Enviro. is going to be issuing the 2nd either sex tag before coming back, b/c if they do, you will see the quality of bucks continue to go down.

It's -31 here right now...that's winter.

O.K, that statement was harsh....but it is wrong in the eyes of the law. I tried edit my post, had no luck.

I say good move..hang that tag on a doe or a bigger buck, but why shoot a smaller one, unless all the matters is hanging out and bragging about 2 bucks. Sorry to use your post as a rant but I for onehave never in my life shot more than 1 buck and I won't hide the fact I hate the forest tag. Braun, do you know anyone who has shot their 2nd either sex in zone 55...if you do, then they are a POACHER.

You've already killed a bigger one this yr, why not let him live..let him grow...seriously?
