Whereabouts in AB are you from?

On our annual hunting trip we hunt on the Peace River valley, almost at the BC border near Silver Valley, AB.

I'm lead to understand there's lots of excellent hunting in northern Ontario. I wouldn't know, I've only ever hunted in SK and AB. But it might be worth checking around, you might meet someone who does hunt in Northern ON. I'm betting you're already signed up on canadiangunnutz.com ? If not, you should and maybe ask around on there. Lot's of members from ON. Barring that, if you own a travel trailer, you could go hunt crown land.

I hear the walleye fishing out Ontario way almost compares to the walleye in SK and MN.

Went out to Tobin Lake, SK this past June with my long time friend and fishing partner. We tied into lots of fish, just none of the real huge ones. My bro and I have both been avid fisherman since around age 5 and have logged many hours together in a boat. His family and mine both had cabins at lakes (different ones of course) and we've fished pretty much every species there is in SK at one time or another and have fished many, many different lakes all over the province. The limits here in AB suck totally (most cases it's zero and the rest are either one fish, or at best, two. Sk it's still 4 or 5 in most lakes) and there aren't near as many lakes as SK or MN. Oh well, I gained in the hunting department but lost in the fishing. Just goes to show, you can't have everything. Luckily I like hunting almost as much as fishing............
I was born and raised in Drayton Valley (1 1/2hr west of Edmonton). Served my time in the oil patch The majority of my hunting was in the Nordegg area as well as chasing the elusive Trophy Elk in the Ya Ha Tinda ranch area. I have been giving some thought to going up north hunting and will check out canadiangunnutz.

We are getting close to ice fishing season and I live on a lake where Walleye is in season in the winter. Our little community basically moves out on the ice come Jan/Feb. Looks like a scene off Grumpy old men
