Archery Whitetail Hunting–New for 2005

A 12 foot shooting platform has been added with an outdoor shooting range utilizing the glendale full rut buck targets.

Archery hunts run during the month of October. They are six day hunts for mature whitetails that are still on their summer feeding patterns. This allows the hunter to target these monsters while they are still on a predictable routine.

Encounters are at close range from ladder, ground blind or clamp on tree stands. Your hunting day begins before dawn with a light breakfast and then you will be taken out to intercept your quarry as they head back to their bedding sites from their feeding activities. The morning wraps up with an 11:00 pick up and a mid day lunch. The afternoon will proceed by again taking stand in an ambush strategically located between the deer's bedding sites and their afternoon feeding locations.

Given a little luck and some persistence you will be smiling with a buck of your dreams for an early evening photo shoot of you and your trophy. You will be hunting whitetails from approximately 30,000 acres of private land and from 100 different stand locations. The opportunity for success has
never been in your favour like this before. Come and join with us in the hunt of a lifetime.

Laws and Regulations

Firearms
Big game, including deer, may only be hunted with a firearm (this includes bows). A rim-fire rifle, a shotgun smaller than 20 gauge when loaded with shot or any shotgun loaded with shot smaller than SG or No. 1 buck cannot be used for hunting deer. When archery hunting, bows must meet the following specifications.

Crossbows:
• draw length must be at least 300 mm (11.8 in.);
• draw weight must be at least 45 kg (99.2 lbs.);

• there must be at least two cutting edges of straight, sharp, unserrated, barbless steel.

Attaching the Seal
Fold the game seal around the base of an antler or slit the ear and pass the game seal through.
he tag should not wrap around itself, but rather form a loop. Carefully peel the backing off the seal. Keep hair, moisture and debris off the tag. Then press the adhesive side on both ends together up to where it wraps around the deer part. Notch out the month, day and time of the kill on the deer seal.

Sealing and Transporting the Whitetail Deer
When a deer has been killed, the license holder who shot the deer must immediately after the kill and at the kill site, securely attach the game seal to the animal. You must notch out the month, date, and time of kill on the game seal. Only the hunter whose game seal is to be used is allowed to attach the seal to the deer. It is illegal to transfer a game seal in order to seal a deer.
