I read your thread and said to myself, "Now there is a smart man". I'm also carrying a .308!! Between that and my Jennings Buckmaster bow, I'm hoping to kill one with each. I'm going to venture out with my bow, but carry the rifle on my pack just in case that huge trophy comes past me out of bow range. I'm really hoping weather cooperates and we hit things at the right time!! This is going to be a great trip!!

I was just looking at the satelite map, and it looks like a lot of the movement is to the north and west this past week. Not really toward what I think is the area where we hunt. Is that normal?

This is actually a good sign. They were too far south for Oct 26 and seeing them head back into the Lac Claire area is good for Nov 26 to Dec 5 hunting. The area from Lac Claire to Lac Bienville is where the head of the migration needs to hold until mid to 3rd week Nov. If they start moving into Laforge Res. after that we will all see some nice animals. This herd likes to winter just belowK400to about K200 of the Taiga Road as there are lots of ponds and food when conditions are normal. The weather forcast for La Grande this winter is"normal"which looks to be putting us on track for a good hunt.
The maps in the next couple weeks will show us.

NQB is right. The herd was a little too far south for this early. If the weather runs close to average there should be 3 to 4 weeks of pretty good hunting. In seven years of hunting the winter season I've seen the extreme on either end. Early, late and right in the middle. Too cold two years ago and too warm last year. I guess that's why they call it hunting.

Hey Spike, sounds good our group is always ready to share hunting stories. As I have mentioned in earlier posts we should arrive before
lunch on Dec. 30th. Depending on where you live in Dearborn we are probably fairly close as I live on the north end of Taylor right behind the Rite Aid at Van Born/Telegraph.
