Mule Deer Mysteries We spotted the bucks just after sunrise, grazing on an open face far above timberline. We were far below. There would be no time to get in position for a shot before they went to bed down in an almost impenetrable thicket of krummholz, the dense, short pines found above timberline in the Rockies.

First Time Deer Hunt in Saskatchewan It was the morning of Nov 24, 2007. Having discussed the night before that Coralee would have first shooting rights if we saw anything we liked, we set out for what would be one exciting morning that would carry out to the day I'm writing this. As we set out in the morning there was a light fog hovering in the air. We went out to one of my favorite spots north of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan.
