Follow along hunting adventures
A friend of mine sent me a story of a successful archery whitetail deer hunt in Alberta from last fall. It is a great story because it details the hard work and persistance it takes to harvest a great quality trophy. Check it out:

I just updated this page: http://www.huntingtipsandtricks.com/a/Field_Preparation_for_A_Bear_Skin_Rug
it now includes pictures along with a step by step guide to skinning for a bear rug. Enjoy.
Today, June 23 2011 is the last day for 2011 that you can purchase and apply for your Alberta hunting draws here: https://www.albertarelm.com/wc.user.Login.page
Alberta has a different system than In British Columbia for their draws. In Alberta you earn priority points which is a good system, so year after year you get closer to obtaining your tag.
As a BC resident I can apply for certain Alberta hunting oppertunities through the host hunter program. I have a friend in Alberta that "sponsors" me so if I go hunting I need to be with him. Having a host hunter allows me to obtain a Wildlift Identification Number in Alberta so I can participate in the draw system.
This year I wanted to apply for antelope, elk, white tail, and mule deer but appearantly there were too many non-residents that purchased draws already as that was the computerized message I got when I tried to purchase the draws. The only draw I was able to purchase was for sheep in the rock mountains. I already have a few priority points for sheep so we will see how this year goes.
Just wanted to let you know in case you did not know already… The 2011 British Columbia Limited Entry Hunting draw has been run and the results are posted online here:
http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/wildlife/hunting/resident/leh.html#Status
Unfortunately this “hunter’s christmas” I did not get any of my draws which were for: Moose, Deer, Sheep, and Elk. I hope you all had better luck than me. At least in British Columbia there is a lot of oppertunities for hunting open seasons. I will probably head up to the alpine and hunt some mule deer in the early season and then maybe try for some elk and moose later as the season progresses.
Just in time for spring bear hunting season.Imagine, having the convenience to bring up the field care chapter, or any other reference material from the entire Black Bear Hunting Encyclopedia book and DVD, while you are in the bush hunting with your mobile device?

ArmorTek –
Ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating repels oils and corrosive salts on outer glass surfaces.

CRS Zero Stop –
Customizable Rotational Stop (CRS) prevents dialing more than one rotation below your zero so you don’t lose the zero when dialing large amounts of elevation corrections. Patent pending.
Tall Uncapped Turrets –

Single Spring Construction –
Fully constrains (without over-constraining) the optical system for predictable, improved accuracy throughout the range of elevation adjustment.
