Corey's Hunting!

NOTHING

2011-08-31T05:14:00.000-06:00

Well Got the results back from the draw and I got nothing. So Regular Elk, Moose, Archery Mule Deer and White tail deer for me.
On a lighter note I will be out on September 1st for the beggining of the 2011 Goose season. I will post pics after the first hunt provided we get lucky and shoot some birds. This year it will start with a few new faces in the group. Cody Volek, Ryan Gareau and Roman Z will be out with us for opening morning. Should be a lot of fun for the first time hunters.

New Idea

2011-01-31T18:30:00.001-06:00

Well since Devon and my self do most of our hunting together and we both want to start filming our adventures a Field/lake I thought why not start our own name. So I came up with D&C Adventures. I know how original. Originally I wanted to call us BBD (Big Buck/Bull Down) But then seen it on a episode of The Crush on Wild TV. So The next best thing was D&C Adventures which also allows us to show off our fishing trips as well.
As for the filming thing, We did not do to well this year. First I hit the record button twice on a mule deer doe that Devon shot on our Zone 10 trip only to find it did not record because I hit the button shutting it off.
Then Devon got his revenge on my Mule deer buck. We walked up on him to about 50 yards and Devon did this awesome intro while I set up my shooting sticks and filmed this buck making a scrape. He said take him and BOOM. The buck dropped in its tracks I jumped up to hi-five him to notice the red light was not blinking on the camera. So Devon got his pay back. We both learned that filming is a lot harder then we thought it would be. But practice makes perfect. Next year will come sooner then we think and we'll try again.

Hunting Year 2010

2010-12-05T16:19:00.000-06:00

Well its been a long time since I've been on here so there is lots new. Got out goose hunting 5 times this year and had a blast. Gruber, Possum and myself went up to Big Sandy for moose and well lets just say there are just as many moose up there as there was when we started. Elk was much of the same.
Now as for Mule Deer we got drawn in zone 10 again and ended up with three very nice deer. Devon and I got to picky and should have shot deer that we didn't and ended up with smaller, but still nice deer.
Whitetail was much the same however Devon connected on a nice buck that should go in the 180's gross. Way to go Devon. That's 2 years in a row. As for mine he's a 4X4 with a 22 inch inside spread. He should score in the low 140's to high 130's.
Well I hope you enjoyed the pics.

Old Pics

2010-02-01T17:42:00.000-06:00

Well here are a few old pics of my old hunting buddy. He was stolen 4 years ago and I came across these photos and thought I'd put them up. Hope you Enjoy.

My 2009 Leader Muley

2009-11-12T11:24:00.001-06:00

Well the first day down was not a good one. I could not hit the broad side of a barn but after a good nights sleep at Shane and Jen's all was restored and I got All 3 of my deer that day. So with out further ado here is a pic of my sticker Muley. And yes I am calling him Sticker after I get the european mount done.

09 Moose Hunt

2009-10-17T20:36:00.000-06:00

Well its that time of year again so It was time for My self Shea and Gruber to head up to Big Sandy Lake for Our annual Moose hunt. For a change the weather was cool and the rut was just starting.

We got up there to find out that Richard and Collen were no longer running the resort and it was kind of sad not seeing Thelma the coon hound but the new manager was a very nice guy and we all hit it off right away.

So the second day we go out and start walking a trail along a river were I've seen moose before and I decide to stop and call. Gruber decides to stay with me and Shea kept walking down the trail. About 20 mins later me and Devon hear a gun shot. A few seconds later we hear another shot and then about 30 secs later a third shot. So I told Gruber Shea got a moose.

We head down to wards Shea and sure enough we had a moose. Shea said he walked into a clearing and seen some garbage on the ground when he heard a growling noise that he thought was a bear. We he looked up he sees a bull moose pawing the ground and raking willows facing him. So He lifts his gun and decides to go for a head shot. Well he missed the first shot and the Bull reared up and pawed the air and charged him. So he jammed another round into the gun and about 7 yards from him the bull turned ( from the sound of the bolt closing we think) and Shea put one in his neck dropping him at 10 yards. A third shot put him out. Five Hours later we had our moose hanging in the shed at the cabin.

2 nights later Gruber goes out and gives a bull call and a big bull comes out onto the trail covered with willows at about 40 yards looking for a fight but Gruber can't see anything but willows and antlers that he says were at least 55 inches wide. And the bull returns to the bush and disappears never to be seen again. So our 09 trip turned out a lot better than the 08 one.

Drawn for Elk in Zone 52

2009-10-17T20:27:00.000-06:00

Well Got drawn for Elk in Zone 52. Who knew there were Elk right across the river from our house. So we set up camp on the 31st of August and on Sept. 1st 10 min into the season Devon shot a nice 4X4 bull that we called out. Two days later I went back to the same spot and walk up on 3 cows. I shot one and knocked her down twice but she made it into the bush and we never found her. How maddening. 2o days later I get my self into a place were a bull was bugling and see 2 different cows but nether gave me a shot man there hard to see in the bush. Oh well So my season ended with no elk but it was fun.

Trail Cam

2009-08-17T21:46:00.000-06:00

Well My awsome wife bought me a trail cam for x-mass last year and I set it up in the pasture behind the house and found some nice deer living back there. I also set it up at my bear bait but no bears this year just some deer and yotes. But here are some pics Ive gotten.

Draws

2009-08-07T01:15:00.000-06:00

Well Some good news. I got my draw results and I got Drawn for Either Sex Elk in Zone 52 and earn a buck in zone 10 for Mule deer. The Elk starts on Sept. 1 and my Holidays have been ok'd from work so I get the first 10 days of the season to hunt elk.
After the elk its back up North for Moose and then way down South for the Mule deer. Once their done its back home for My Whitetail which I get to harvest a doe as well as a buck this year in Zone 42 and 52.
Hopefuly I score eairly on the elk and so do my huntin buddies so we can get in some great goose shoots aswell or the only goose hunting I will be doing is guiding.
Oh well it should be a great year hunting.

2008 Whitetail Deer

2008-12-13T16:09:00.000-06:00

We'll here he is. Not my biggest but for the second last day not to bad. He made really good jerkey. He's not like the one that now stits on the bottom of the South Saskatchewan river. (Talk about bad luck) But Iam happy with him.

2008 Mule Deer

2008-11-07T10:53:00.000-06:00

Well again had a hard time finding anyone to go with me down to Leader to hunt Muleys so I went by myself. Had a great trip ened up with 7 deer. Huge thanks goes out to Shane and Jenifer Gruber for letting me stay at there home with them and to Shane for going hunting with me.

The Buck I shot was on the last day with about 5 min. left. Not what I wanted to shot but beter than nothing. You can ask Shane I was very picky as I passed up four other bucks that evening before I took this one, which I almost never. (Thanks for the advice Shane LOL) But all in all It was a great fun hunt that has to become a yearly trip.

2008 Moose Hunt

2008-11-07T10:44:00.001-06:00

Well it was a very tuff year for moose this year. The first week I went with Wes, Shea and Daral. Wes and I got up there on Sunday and did some scouting. We got to one spot and I gave a Cow call. Not even 30 secs later a bull answered and showed himself at around 40 yards. So You would think that Monday morning would be a sure thing. Yea Right never seen another moose for the rest of the week. All We found was a kill sight and a antler shead.

Well for week two It was myself and my dad. We ended up seeing 3 bulls but could'nt get shots at them. I seen one across the lake so we got the boat and started after him. We got half way there and the head gasket went in my boat motor so that was that. The only luck we had was there was two guys fishing and they happened to see us. So they were nice enough to tow us back to the dock.

So that was the 2008 Moose hunt so far. Still might make a trip up in the late season once the snow flys. Well See how my Wonderful wife is.

GOOSE HUNTING 2008

2008-09-07T07:00:00.001-06:00

Well its a new year and so far its been a good one. Gone out four times this year for geese and as luck would have it had four great hunts with limits every time. The only thing is its been hard to find dedicated people to come out and hunt with me. Of the four hunt two were by myself. Oh well. Thats life.

ROBIN HOOD (Finally)

2008-07-26T19:32:00.000-06:00

Well I finally did it. I was practicing shooting my new Easton Carbon Arrows and Well of course because they were expensive I conected a Robin hood.

Oh well It still awsome to finally beable to say I've gotten a Robin Hood. It was at 20 yards. I know 20 yards not that far but "YOU DO IT" lol.

COYOTE'S

2008-03-03T15:28:00.000-06:00

Well thanks to a friend I was introduced to the wonderful world of calling coyotes. What a blast. You would never think that having a dog come running to a call and stop to look at you three times while only being 15 yards away could get your blood pumping. But it dose. What a blast and what a way to get some fun hunting in when there are no seasons open. Give it a try and you will never regret it.

Antelope and Mule Deer 2007

2007-12-05T19:32:00.000-06:00

Well after the moose it was time to go to Leader Saskatchewan for our trophy Mule deer and a new experience of hunting Antelope. Man Oh Man can they run for such a small animal. The first heard we came to had all does or the bucks lost there horns already so off to the next batch. We seen over 200 Antelope and only seen does so thats what we shot. When people say you lead them seven fence posts they arn't kidding. Man can they run. After a lot of shells Shea and I got our Antelope.
Our Mule deer was a little different. They were every where. It was like hunting rabbits. Shea shot his after a 2 km stalk and was done. Myself on the other hand was very picky and was wanting a 30+ incher wide or drop tines. This almost cost me not getting one but on the second day after passing a deer the night before that grew in size after we walked away from it. The next morning I shot my deer. He was'nt wide and never had a drop tine but he scored 183 2/8s. A nice deer. Maby next year I 'll get the wide one. We have'nt scored Shea's yet but it should be close to mine.

Goose Hunting 2007

2007-12-05T19:25:00.000-06:00

Well no Guiding this year and that left me a lot of free time to hunt for myself. I got a lot of goose hunting done and with it came 2 bands. One from a Ross and One from a Greater Canada Goose. Here are a few pics of the 07 seasson. Gotta love It.

2007 Moose hunt

2007-12-05T19:06:00.000-06:00

Top: moose from 2007

Bottom: 2006

Another year of moose hunting and after calling last years bull within 7 yards of me, it should be easy right? NOT THE CASE.

Well Shea and I took of to Big Sandy Lake lodge in Sept. and hunted hard for 4 days. We did everything from calling , walking, quading and even renting a boat and hunting the lake to no avail.

So away we go again in October. All we see again are tracks and more tracks. We even had moose tracks on our tracks. Very frustrating. However on our last day we finally got some luck and come across a Bull with a cow and two calves. So I shot the bull and he swam out into a lake about 40 yards and died. Right on we got our moose, but wait one of the calves has antlers to so Shea shoots it and it drops on the shore line. Nice and Dry for Shea.

Now for the fun part. I strip down and after some encouraging words from Shea dive in and swim out to my moose that is floating in 15 feet of water. Man you don't know COLD WATER until you go swiming in the middle of October up north.

But it was well worth it. Hopefully 2008 will bring another Moose as we are Hooked on hunting them.

2007 whitetail

2007-12-05T18:35:00.000-06:00

Well here is my whitetail for 2007. I only have until the 15 of December to get a bigger one, if not this one will have to do. Hope you enjoy the pics. He should Score in the 150"s net as he is a 4x7 with six inch bases.
