Wild Turkey
with Shotgun in GBHZ 4 on May 09, 2017A calm morning. Turkeys were gobbling at 5:30am. I could hear them gobbling back at my calls but they were content hanging up in the bush. 2 hours went by and they started going silent. I got up and moved to the area I thought they could be. I moved silently enough and there they were. I pulled the trigger at 60 yards on this Jake with 3 1/2 inch heavy load turkey shot. A 2 1/2
White-tailed Deer
with Muzzleloader in GHA 19 on November 03, 2017First year with my new Thompson Center Pro Hunter FX muzzleloader. Shot this buck at 25 yards. Love the muzzleloader season.
Spruce Grouse
with Shotgun in GBHZ 4 on November 17, 2016Another beautiful day in southern Manitoba. Spend the day looking for good Grouse spots and came across this one filling it's gull with pebbles of grit. I added a few pebbles of my own. Very small patch of red around the eye. Beautiful birds.
Sharptail Grouse
with Shotgun in GBHZ 4 on September 24, 2017Found a nice pocket of sharp tails. Good to see their numbers coming back. These grouse are very picky about their habitat and breeding grounds

Boar Black Bear
with Bow in GHA 23A on September 09, 2016This bear had no fear. As I baited the barrel 1 hour before the hunt. the bear was wanting to come out to feed while I was baiting. It was a freaky situation. When I arrived to hunt the bear it was no where to be seen. A hour later it came out from behind me. I drew my bow and made a terrible first shot at 40 yards. After tracking him on the ground in the bush before dark I found him against a tree and I put another arrow through his chest at 8 yards.
Blue Goose
with Shotgun in GBHZ 4 on October 07, 2017While hunting for Canada's a small flock of blue geese decided to visit our decoy spread. I knocked 2 down. Very unique looking bird.
