Went out this morning and found him bedded in a standing durum field. I was thinking this was going to be easy as the wind was supposed to pick up and I should be able to get in close to him. I waited for the wind to pick up and when it started to I began to move in on him. When I was about 55 yards from him He decided it was time to stand up, he had no idea I was there but was facing me when he stood. He ended up bolting for the coulee. My buddy Ken had other comittments early but showed up just as I had blown the buck out of his bed and we watched him head across a summerfallow field to another coulee. We took the trucks and drove as far East as we could and then walked over to the coulee he had went to. It had a couple different fingers and the first one we checked was empty. As we were rounding a corner on the second one we spotted him bedded in the wide open in the bottom of the coulee looking our way. He did catch our movement but didn't really know what we were. We headed back the way we came and I was going to try and sneak in behind him down the wide open coulee side with him watching back where we had been. Ken stayed on top to see where he might go if I spooked him. He had gotten to his feet and was walking back the way he had come. He stopped and turned to look back where he had seen our movement earlier and this gave me a chance to get to a small rise and bush on the coulee side. I ranged him at 48 yards and took the shot. I hit him just behind the shoulder and he bolted for the bottom of the coulee. He only went about 60 yards and crashed into the deepest washed out part of the coulee with very thick bush in and around it. He was brutal to get out.
WE went back to the landowners to see if we could use a quad to get him out of the coulee. When I said we had got one the landowner said " you didn't shoot the big one I have been watching did you?" I said maybe, he is a pretty big one. She then asked if he had been hanging with two other smaller bucks, which he had been, and she said that that was the one. She said to bring it by so she could have a look at it and we could see her son weep. ( the whole family was drawn this year :D). She congratulated me and I decided to share with her where we had seen a couple other good ones to hopefully make up for it :) . She was even nice enough to still let me go and get him with the quad.


I will hopefully put a tape to him tomorrow before he goes to the meat cutter.

You are the man! Dude you have killed some TOADS up there with your bow.

Congrats man!


"You skin grizz?"
 
I don't think there is anyone on here that will try and disagree with me by saying that you kill some of the biggest bucks, muley or whitetail on this site!! Congrats on another pig!! By the way I still want one of your deer horn coyote calls. Sell me one dang it!! :)
 
Another toad for the wall. The way you're going Saskman, you will soon be running out of wall space. Dang if that's not a great problem to have. Congrats as always on another tremendous archery buck.

I knew you'd get him.....Congratulations Cam on a gorgeous looking buck. Outstanding field photos as well.

BOHNTR )))---------->
 
Congrats - awesome buck. The landowners must be great folks to let you hunt their place when they all have tags themselves.
 
Another Slammer bites the dust. Great looking buck.

"I have found if you go the extra mile it's Never crowded".
 
Fantastic buck and I would skip the score on here or someone will just come on and contest it anyway, LOL!!!
 
I hate this guy!!! Every year he does this crap, and I gotta sit here and get pissed I'm not canadian!!! If obama get re-elected I'm moving to saskatchewan, right next door to saskman!! I will pick the dog ##### out of his grass to go hunt some of the bucks he does.
 
Cam,
I was hoping to log on to MM today and see a thread started by you. Simply awesome buck! You are indeed a killing machine with that bow. Congrats on yet another Great Canadian Giant!
 
My buddy rough scored him tonight just before he caped him. He has a 195 5/8 gross typical frame and after adding in the junk he ends up grossing 214 1/8 non-typ. I think the net was 208 and change.
 
At what point does a hunter become a legacy?

Is there more to it than just killing big bucks? Do you need to author books, star in video's, have your own "Show"?

Saskman, you are a big buck deer killing machine. You got it figured out. Whatever it is your doing, you do better than most. Hat's off.

Great big buck sask!

Just out of curiosity how did you get access to that land if the landowner knew her son was chasing that buck? (BTW, that is not a loaded question, Im just thinking you'd be the last person I wanted on my property if I had a big buck around!!!)
 
Thanks for always sharing your hunts with us!
It is fun to follow, and see your success. Way to go!

Its a different world up here than down there. I went up to their house knocked on the door and asked if I would be able to bowhunt on their land and they said for sure. If they went and asked if they could hunt on my dads land his answer would be for sure. I do know them and have hunted on their land many times. It is very rarely you will be turned down up here when you ask to hunt on private land as long as you are respectful and treat their land like it was your own.
 
Congrats once again, Cam. Stud and a half buck for you once again. Your skills and humility are good for this site and huting in general. And we could all take a lesson from the landowners and folks in Sask.

Thanks for sharing. Great buck and much deserved.
 
Sweet buck man, yet another monster eats the arrow from your bow! So how's the huntin work up there?? is it all private land hunting or is there some public land stuff that goes on? Just curious as ALOT of the big ones comin outa there seem to be in "fields" of some kind... And I know there ain't no planted fields of any kind that are public ground around here! Once again congrats on a great buck...
 
Nice buck, I had to look up the work coulee to see what you were describing and I got to say there are so many things refered to as a coulee I still have no idea what type of area you pulled him from.

These are what we call coulees, They are usually deep cuts in the ground caused by running water over a long period of time.

I would say at least 90% of the land down here in the south where we hunt is private land. Access is as easy as a handshake with the landowner. You will rarely get turned down when you ask to hunt. No exchange of money or fees to be paid. Hunting pressure would be considered extremely low compared to what you guys experience down there. We likely have less mule deer in the province than you have hunters in any given season. Mule deer are on a draw system for residents only except archery tags are available over the counter in any zone that has more than 50 either sex tags.
 
A typical prairie coulee. Some have grain fields on the flat spots, some have chokecherry and wild rose bushes in the bottoms of the coulee, some are grazed short by livestock and some have grass that is waist high. Each depending on what humans have done to the original land. Some are large enough to grow cottonwood trees in their bottoms, but not often.

The short grass prairies of north west USA and southern Alberta and Saskatchewan look flat and without character from a distant perspective. In truth they are broken by thousands of these small and not so small coulees that drain excess water into small creeks or large rivers. Depending on their proximity to a large river will determine how deep and wide the coulee is. The example above: of Grand Coulee Dam, is where a larger river, with larger coulees draining into it was dammed for irrigation. It was a coulee before it was a lake.

You are something else Cam.
I think everyone here looks forward to your hunting seasons nearly as much as you do.
Always great animals and great pics.
Thank You.
 
Ain't no way in HELL I'd of let you use a Quad to retrieve that Buck!:D



For GAWDS Sakes Guys,We Got Kids on this Site,Some of them are 65 years Old!:D

I don't care if they're big or small!
If they throw lead I like em all!
:p
 
Awesome buck!! And as everyone else has said, I'm amazed at how you seem to do this year after year! Thats some great looking country in those 'coulee' pics too!
 
Why am I not surprised that your a member on a site named MonsterMulies Cam!
Never get tired of looking at that deer! Great pics of those coulees too!
One tag left, good luck with the moose!
 
There's no way I would have shot that buck! Why would you even consider taking him?

I've shot so danged many fork horns I Don't know what I'd do with myself if I shot good buck. Heck I'd probably hang up my deer hunting hat and call it good.


You need to come to NM and hunt with me. That way when you see a forkie and get all excited just cuz you saw a buck you might learn to appreciate those pencil horned babies you are shooting up there.

Lets trade areas for a year. I will shoot the pencil horned deer and you can learn to appreciate shooting those deer by shooting really pencil horned deer in my neck of the woods.

DEAL?
