I stalked my muley three times before I got my shot at about 40 yards. For my whitey I sat in a tree stand for about 4 hours. Hated it. We then did a little hiking for two days. Got him hiking some canyons above the river bottoms. He jumped out of some brush and bolted like a cat. He stopped for a split second before crossing the next canyon at 326 yards. Drilled him and he ran around the corner. When I got to him another one, sligthly smaller, jumped out of some brush in that canyon.
This part of Alberta does not see really monster whiteys. The guide was absolutley in shock over my whitey. He said it would more likely then not be the biggest they take this year. They average about 130 on whiteys. I was pretty darn happy with it for my first white tail. I would have settled for a 120. Saw a bunch in the 120-130 range. They were all moving quite a bit, cruising for does. Hard to get shots when on the ground with them.
I'm trying to post the photos and story but not heaving luck with the phots yet.
