2024 Alberta Whitetail And Mule Deer Hunt - Episode 4

[@karlweiby2307]

Great series! Takes me back to growing up hunting in North Dakota. Those overcast windy days with a ton of humidity drive the cold to the bone! Such a great buck Al!! That was a giant bodied deer for sure! Lots of good groceries for the freezer! The 280 kills as good as it looks! Congrats!

@@karlweiby2307 Hi Karl and Happy New Year 🥳!!! Thank you, yes it was very cold, but that’s hunting. I am very happy with the buck I harvested, with the amount of whitetails we were seeing I was very lucky. It was a very good sized deer and deboned I got over 60lbs of just meat and yes the 280 AI with its first kill did not disappoint. Thanks again for all the support over the years it’s greatly appreciated, take care my friend

Nice deer. Glad to see u hunting with my favor cartridge 280AI. Doing load development with 150 and 168gr bullets. Berger bullets in Classic Hunter. The 175 gr EH bullets are hard to find. I got a good deal on 7 boxes of the 150gr Classic Hunter. I'm trying a few different powders in my 280AI. H4831sc IMR 4831 IMR 7828ssc RL22.

@@ozark_trapper Hi, thank you. The 280ai is a great cartridge and I can see why it’s your favourite. I was lucky and found a bunch of 175 Elite Hunters and they have shot very well. I have 168s as well but haven’t shot them in this rifle. H4831SC is my go to powder and has worked well in two rifles now. Thanks for watching, take care and Merry Christmas 🎄

Enjoying the series, and nice deer! What's the reason for not removing the scent glands?

[@bcextremeoutdoorsman]

@@geev3s Hi, thank you, I usually remove them. But Byron says he never does. I didn’t ask him why he doesn’t. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care and Merry Christmas 🎄

Good looking Whitetail, no pass thru in that deer. What caliber you using?

[@bcextremeoutdoorsman]

@@SteveFromWyoming Thank you Steve, I was using my 280ai. The deer dropped dead in its tracks. Didn’t even know what hit it. Thanks for watching and the comment, Merry Christmas 🎄

Any chance u wanna give a shout out to the guy who did the paint job on your rifle ? that colour combination is wicked

[@bcextremeoutdoorsman]

Hi Kurtis, a friend of mine got a friend of his to paint it for me as a favour. He is crazy busy and doesn't really do side jobs, I was told not to give out his name, sorry. But he did do a beautiful job on it and I am very happy with it. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care and Merry Christmas.

Hey brother… you do not ever need to do the “not a monster” apology thing… ever. That is an amazing buck. Beautiful animal in his prime… no two are ever the same they are truly unique… God’s creation. It is always a blessing to harvest a big game animal… size is only a minor aspect of what defines the value or quality of a hunt. Each and every animal harvested is as special as the unique experience of the hunt itself. Also… footage of the kill is nice to get, but also overrated… I respect hunters who prioritize the hunt and the recovery over the footage. Missing the shot footage is part of it… it’s real and I prefer reality personally. Congratulations! 😊👍🏼

[@bcextremeoutdoorsman]

Hi Trevor, Thank you my friend. I was very happy with buck I got and I still am. I would harvest another just like it next year if the opportunity arises. I agree, I always give thanks to every animal and to God after the harvest. I always try to get the kill shot on video, but this just happened too fast and I didn't have time. It was so cold out my camera batteries were not lasting so I had to keep them in a pocket to keep them warm. It is a little overrated but as a videographer I like to try and get as much action as I can. But like you said, missing the shot footage is just part of it. I can't get it right all the time. Thanks again for watching and the comment, its greatly appreciated, take care and Merry Christmas.
