We talk with Jason Sarapillia of Macomb Michigan who went Whitetail hunting with Chaparral Hunting Adventures in northern Saskatchewan and took down a Wolf.
It was my dad that got me into Deer camp up in Kasa, Michigan. Going up for bow hunting. We weren’t allowed in, you know, at younger years for gun season because that’s not a place for a younger guy. But then when I hit 18, I joined Deer camp.
Night and day difference. I mean day one and two here I had 40 to 60 Deer in front of me the entire day. 97% of the day I had Deer in front of me. In Michigan it typically does not work that way at all. So you can go all day without seeing a Deer or you can see 10. I mean it’s much different. It’s better here. But you know, they’re both fun.
I’ve passed on a few, not the caliber that are around, that I’m looking for, but I’ve seen bucks every day, big ones, small ones. Just not the the class that that I’m looking for, that Chaparral is looking for.
Yes. The most surprising thing I think it was, day two, I had probably between 35 and 40 Deer in front of me, some on the bait pile, some bedded down, sleeping, some playing, some fighting. I mean, I had Deer all around me. About 10:00 a.m. a Deer had come over the little ridge and everybody stopped.
Everybody got up and all 40 Deer ran past me all at one time. The Deer that had run in to stir everything up was the last Deer that went by me on my right. He just he stopped before he went over the ridge and he had his tongue hanging out just breathing, just, he looked like he was sick. I didn’t really understand at the time what that was.
About 7 minutes after that, saw some movement far away and then out in front of me kind of a Wolf came around, did a nest, stopped behind a big tree. I got down on one knee in the in the ladder stand. Got my three points. Wolf came out, stopped broadside, and I was able to get my first Wolf.
This is my third outfitter, and, by far, this has been the best. Greg and Shelly have been, I’ve never met them before, up until four or five days ago, and they’ve treated me like family. They’ve got gear to borrow. The side by sides they take you out in the field with are unbelievable.
It’s great. The cabin has got eight rooms. Two bathrooms that are, they look like they’re brand new. I don’t know when they did them, but they’re, just it’s everything is perfect. What we’re sitting in right now. All of our gear stays here so nothing gets smelly or stinky around food. There’s no complaint. I plan on coming again next year.
